Report a change that affects your benefits

You must tell us about any changes that affect your ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Benefit or Council Tax reduction. The quickest and easiest way to tell us about a change is to use our online form.

Report a change online

You can also tell us about a change by phoning us on 0131 608 1111.

Tell us about any changes as soon as possible. If you don't, you may be paid too much ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Benefit and have to pay it back.

If the change means your ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Benefit increases, you must tell us within 1 month of the change. This will mean that the increase is paid from the Monday after the change. If you wait more than a month, the increase will only be paid from the Monday after you tell us.
