To submit proof of your change in circumstances, you'll need to inform Southend council as soon as possible. You can start the process online through their Citizen Access Benefits portal and provide details about the change, even if you don't have all the proof immediately. You have one month to provide any necessary documentation after your initial submission.
Here’s a quick overview of how to proceed:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Notify about change | Inform Southend Council immediately. |
| 2. Submit online | Go to the Citizen Access Benefits portal. |
| 3. Provide proof | Submit necessary documentation within 1 month. |
If you’re receiving Universal Credit, don't forget to notify the Department for Work and Pensions as well. It's important to act quickly to avoid potential overpayments or penalties related to your benefits.
