If you are claiming benefit, the law says you must tell us immediately if you have any changes in your circumstances. We will always ask you to confirm your change in writing but to start with you can let us know by calling our Customer Services Team on 01621 854477 or you can click here to send us email. Whenever anything changes it is better to tell us immediately but always within one month from the date of the change occurring. If you do not you might lose benefit you are entitled to or you could risk further action being taken against you. Changes in circumstance can include:
However, there are lots of other things that can change and if you are not sure if something counts as a change in circumstances, let us know anyway. Normally we will need proof of the changes i.e. rent, a change in income, such as landlord's letter, payslips etc as only original documentation is accepted and we will also need to know the date that the change occurred. You should send your letter and proof to the Maldon District Council offices at Princes Road, Maldon, Essex, CM9 5DL. If documents are not available straightaway, don't wait, let us know anyway and your documentation can be sent at a later date. Don't rely on someone else to notify your change or assume that someone else will let us know on your behalf - always make sure you have reported the change yourself to the Council. If you know anyone who has failed to tell us about their change in circumstance and is claiming benefit fraudulent, please see our fraud page for how to report this. Remember: Don't Delay - Do it TODAY! For more information about changes in circumstances, please see our leaflet (PDF Format) in the download area. |
