Tell us if your address or other circumstances change

You must tell us about any change of address or other circumstances that may affect whether you qualify for the benefits you get.

We will review any benefits you get if your address or other circumstances change. This is to make sure:

  • you are getting the correct amount of benefit
  • you are not getting a benefit you do not qualify for
  • you are not missing out on a benefit you do qualify for but do not get
