HOUSING BENEFIT - DUTY TO REPORT CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES

Although Housing Benefit has been granted for the period shown on your Housing Benefit Decision Letter, you must inform us immediately in writing of any change to your circumstances which might affect your entitlement (e.g. if your income changes, if you begin work or change job, if someone moves into your house etc.). This is not a full list of all the changes that we must be informed about. If you are in any doubt about what constitutes a 'change of circumstances', please contact the Housing Benefit Section on the telephone number below and staff there will be able to help you.
