Changes in circumstance
You must notify the Council immediately of any changes in any of your circumstances. This means that if the information you originally gave us, on your application form, changes, then you must inform us immediately as it might affect the amount of benefit that you are receiving.
It is really important that you report changes to us. Failure to report a change may mean that we are not paying you enough benefit or that you are being overpaid benefit which we may ask you to repay.
We also need evidence of what has changed, details of this requirement can be found in the leaflet.
If you disagree with anything we do
You can ask us to explain anything about how we have calculated your benefit.
If you disagree with our decision you may ask us to look at it again and if you remain dissatisfied you can ask for an independent review by officers not involved in your case.
If you still disagree after that review you can have the decision reviewed by an
Independent Appeals Tribunal.
