  • Yes, you have to declare all changes in circumstance. Ie, you now have a job....
  • Yes you have to declare it as taxable income. If this is the only taxable income you have it won't affect your claim as still under the income threshold of £6420. If you recieve any other taxable income, including taxable social security benefits, you need to add then all together to see if there's an impact.
