You must tell us straight away, in writing, if there is a change
in your or any member of your households' circumstances. Even a
small change may effect how much money we can pay you. If you don't
tell us straight away, you could lose out on money or we could
overpay you and if you are overpaid we will recover the money from
you.
These are some of the types of changes you must
tell the Benefits team about:-
- If you or a member of your household start work
- If the amount of savings or investments change
- If your income changes or the income of anyone else in your
household changes
- If someone joins or leaves your household
If you have moved or are moving home
please notify the Local Taxation and the Benefits Team so
that your account can be adjusted.
Please telephone or click on
the link below, complete the form and submit it to
Richmondshire District Council:
