Tell us about a change in circumstances
Let us know if something in your life changes which may affect your benefits that are managed by the council.
By law, you must tell us immediately if there's any change to the information we use to decide if you get:
- Housing Benefit
- Council Tax Support
The Council Tax Support Tolerance Scheme means if your income goes up or down and the change to the amount of Council Tax Support is £2.50 a week or less, your Council Tax Support and bill will remain the same as before the change.
Report a change in circumstances
See details of the types of change in circumstances you need to tell us about.
Some changes in circumstances will mean that you can claim Universal Credit rather than continuing to receive Housing Benefit.
