The above are only examples.
Council tenants must also notify their local Housing office of any changes to their household occupants. Further information is available on our Changing your tenancy pages.
Why is it so important to tell you about a change in my circumstances?
If we pay you too much benefit because you did not tell us about a change straight away, you will have to pay back any overpaid benefit. For further information on overpaid benefit, see our section on Housing Benefit - overpayments.
