Tax credits, telling them about getting married?

Hi all, can someone please reassure me that I haven't done anything too awful here!
My now husband and I have been mostly on but a little off for 9 years!
We moved back in together in September 2014 and we married in June 2015.
I told tax credits back in September 2014 that he had moved back in and that we were a couple etc and changed our claim.
Although I never told them we got married back in June last year as I have not yet changed my name on any of my paperwork. I've not even told the bank or anyone.
It's not I don't want to change my name but in the last 9 years I have moved house 13 times and I am fed up of updating addresses / records so never bothered (rubbish excuse I know)!
So my question is if I call them and tell them now will I get in any trouble? I'm thinking because we claimed together anyway it shouldn't matter or effect anything?
Than you in advance!

Won't make any difference. You are already claiming as a couple which is what matters.0

Thank goodness! I didn't think it would but was a bit nervous about it as I'd left it so long!

Lots of married women retain their surname.0
