Changes in your home
The number of people in your home effects how much benefit you are entitled to. If this number alters from when you made the claim then you need to tell us about this change.
For example:
- Someone has a baby
- A partner comes to live with you
- A partner leaves
If you or your partner leave the household, then a new form should be completed by the person remaining in the home. It will be likely that your income will have changed and details and proof will be required.
If a non-dependant or a dependant leaves the household, you need to contact us to let us know what date they left and their forwarding address.
This is also the case if a boarder, tenant, sub-tenant or carer leave.
The service may not be able to remove someone from an address without details of their forwarding address and if you are unable to provide a forwarding address we will ask you the reasons for this.
