Tell us about a change

Let us know if something in your life changes that affects your benefits. Your claim might be stopped or reduced if you do not report a change of circumstances straight away.

Tell us about changes to:

• your circumstances and your partner’s circumstances: for example, going abroad for any length of time, your name, job, the benefits you get, your income or savings
• your address: for example, if you move within or out of Kensington and Chelsea
• your home details: for example if you change your tenancy, or get a new landlord
• your payments: for example who we pay benefit to, or the way the benefit is paid
• your children: such as starting school or changing school – we need the name and address of the school or your child turning 18

If you’re not sure – tell us anyway.

If your change in circumstances is a change of address or a change in income, you should complete the form below.
