If your circumstances change after you've applied for Housing Benefit or Council Tax Reduction, it's important to inform the council immediately to ensure your benefits remain accurate. You can report changes online, and the council may request additional evidence or forms based on the nature of your change.
Here are some examples of changes you need to report:
| Type of Change |
|---|
| Changes to any other benefits or allowances |
| Changes to wages, tax credits, maintenance payments |
| Changes to your savings |
| Inheriting money or property |
| Someone joining or leaving your household |
| Changes in income for someone living with you |
| A child leaving school or home |
| Moving house or going abroad |
| Changes in rent (increase or decrease) |
| Changes in landlord |
You can report these changes through the council's online form. Staying on top of these updates will help avoid any future overpayments or issues with your benefits.
