    yes, there is information on your award notice about contacting them with changes.
    Initially award will be based on previous years income (£4,114)
    contact them and advise of your estimated income for this year (£12,000) they will then recalculate your award based on an income of £9,500 (the first £2,500 increase is ignored)
