To report a change in circumstances for your Housing Benefit, you need to notify Torridge District Council as soon as the change occurs. Common changes to report include changes in income, employment status, household composition, and any alterations to your housing costs.
You can submit your report through Torridge’s Digital Portal or by filling out a specific form. Here's the key information in a table for clarity:
| Change Type | Details to Report |
