Change in circumstances
You must tell us if there are any changes to your circumstances that may affect you receiving Housing Benefit or Council Tax Support. Any delay may mean you are paid too much benefit which you will have to pay back, or you may be paid too little.
This is because even the smallest of changes can affect the amount of Housing Benefit or Council Tax Support you receive.
