Change of circumstances
What to do if your circumstances change.
Please let us know as soon as possible if your circumstances change.
For example, if someone moves out of your home or your salary increases.
It could affect how much you get and we don't want you to miss out on money that is rightfully yours. We also don't want to pay you money that you are not entitled to. If you don't tell us about a change and we pay you too much benefit, you will probably have to pay it back.
