If your circumstances change after applying, it’s important to report those changes to the council within 21 days. This includes any alterations in income, dependents, or address.
Here's a quick look at the changes you should report:
| Change to Report |
|---|
| If you or your partner start or stop receiving benefits |
| If your or your partner's income changes |
| Changes in savings or investments |
| Alterations in household members (more or fewer people living with you) |
| If any of your children leave school |
| If you have a child or apply for EU settled/pre-settled status |
| If you move to a new address |
It's always better to err on the side of caution, so if you're unsure whether a change might affect your entitlement, just let the council know. You can report a change in circumstance online.
