How long before tell HB of change of circumstances?
Im still waiting for something in the post, it was about a week now my circumstances changed, but I don't want to tell housing benefit yet because they will just stop my payments and tell me to provide X,y and z. I haven't got everything yet.
Will I get in trouble for not telling them straight away?

Nothing has been fixed since 2008, it was just pushed into the future

It shouldn't be about 'getting in trouble' it should be about doing the right thing and telling them a week ago as you agreed to do when you claimed.Master Apothecary Faranell replied, “I assure you, overseer, the Royal Apothecary Society dearly wishes to make up for the tragic misguidance which ended so many lives. We will cause you no trouble. We seek only to continue our research in peace".0 -

Yes. The government changed the rules a few years back so we now slap you with a financial penalty for failing to promptly report a change in circumstances if that failure creates an overpayment of £250 or more. http://www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/civil-penalties-guide.pdf.These are my own views and you should seek advice from your local Benefits Department or CAB.0 -

Too late is day after you know, a week I would have thought questions will be asked."Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain."
