To report a change in your circumstances affecting any benefits you receive, you can use the online form provided by Swindon council. It’s important to report changes like starting or leaving a job, changes in earnings, or any household changes such as members moving in or out.
Here's a quick overview of the types of changes to report:
| Change Type | Details |
|---|---|
| Inheritance | If you or your partner receive an inheritance. |
| Employment Changes | If you or your partner start work or your earnings change. |
| Education Changes | If anyone in your household starts or leaves full-time education. |
| Hospitalization | If anyone goes into hospital for more than four weeks (temporary absence). |
| Household Changes | If anyone joins or leaves your household (e.g., birth of a baby or child going to university). |
Make sure to provide evidence to support your report, and if you are unsure whether a change needs reporting, it's best to inform the council anyway. You can report a change of circumstance online here.
