Tell us about any changes
Notify us of a change of address
If you are already receiving housing benefit or council tax support and you move to a new address you need to tell us about that change of address.
To avoid loss of potential benefit, complete the Housing benefit or council tax support - change of address form and inform the council within 1 month of the date you changed address.
Notify us of overpayments and underpayments
If you feel that you have been paid too much or too little benefit, you must contact the benefits section immediately.
Notify us of changes of circumstances
If you have already submitted a claim for Housing Benefit and your circumstances have changed you must tell us immediately as the change may affect the level of benefit you receive. Find the list of what counts as a change in circumstances.
You need to tell us of any changes within one month of the change happening so you do not lose out on any extra benefit you may be entitled to. If you have been overpaid benefit then you are liable to pay the money back to us whether payment was made to you or your landlord.
You can tell us online about a change in your circumstances.
