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.

Change in Circumstances (129k PDF)
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.
