What changes do we need to know about?

You need to tell us if any of the following change:

• People who live in your home
• The income, capital, or savings of anyone living in your home
• A young person living with you leaves school
• A change in your payment details

What information do I need to complete this form?

To complete the form you will need:

• Your claim reference number
• Full details of your changes
