Changes in circumstances

Skip main content Skip main content

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:
 

This is a list of some of the changes you must report to the Benefits team. If you are unsure, please telephone 01748 829100 and ask to speak to the Benefit Team or e-mail benefits@richmondshire.gov.uk
