My circumstances have changed

If you are receiving Housing/Council Tax Benefit it is your responsibility for informing the local authority of any changes in your financial circumstances.

A 'change in circumstances' is when your situation changes and your benefits are affected.  This includes any changes to the following:

  • address
  • wages
  • other benefits received
  • tax credits
  • private pensions
  • capital held
  • people leaving or joining your household
  • other household members income
  • hospitalisation


If you are getting benefits or think you may now be entitled to get different benefits, you must write and tell us at once if your circumstances change - a phone call is not enough.

You can report your change of circumstances online here.

If your address has changed please complete this online form here.
