How to report changes to your circumstances
If you’re on Universal Credit, the quickest way to report a change of circumstances is by signing in to your Universal Credit account and selecting ‘report a change in circumstances’ from the ‘Home’ tab. You can also report a change of circumstances by contacting the Universal Credit helpline.
If you’re on other benefits, including Pension Credit, Carer’s Allowance or Personal Independent Payments (PIP), you will also need to report changes to your circumstances.
Claim reviews
Your benefit might be checked at any time to see if your circumstances are up to date. If you’re receiving Universal Credit, you’ll be contacted though your online journal by a claim review agent who can also help you update your circumstances.
