If your circumstances change, this can affect the amount of Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax you pay and how much support you're entitled to. We need to know what the change is, the date the change occurred and who in your household it relates to.

Examples of changes can include;

  • someone moving into or out of your household
  • a change in the income and capital of anyone living in your household, such as a pay rise or a pay cut.
  • a  change in the number of people living in your home.
  • you or your partner have a child
  • your child leaves school
  • your rent has increased or decreased (unless you are a council tenant)
  • any other changes that might affect your entitlement to benefit, such as stopping or starting work
