Housing Benefit and Tax Credits

Hi
I have just been approved for housing benefit. Do I need to inform tax credits about this or is it not taken into account when it comes to tax credit calculations?
It might seem a bit of a silly question but this is the first time I've claimed housing benefit and haven't been claiming tax credits very long either.
Thanks

No, you do not have to inform tax credits.
