You will definitely have to tell them, yes, it will affect your housing benefit.
No way around it, I am afraid.
You will just have to save up gradually for your carpets.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -

Just let them know as soon as you can and do as much overtime you can till you go back onto normal hours.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.

Send your wage slip in to your local council, they will adjust it for a month then it will go back to normal with your next wage slip x0

Why are you replacing carpets in a rental property? Isn't that the landlord's responsibility?I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
