I get housing benefit of approx 30 %
Plus small amount of council tax help..since November last year. 
I'm on state pension plus a small works anuatity 
I understand I need to inform of any changes but wondered if the increase in state pension of 10.1%
In April needs to be notified?
Rent going up 7% housing association so it's capped at that. 
Council tax increase by 4.99%

I am very appreciative of this help and obviously want to do the right thing. 
Thank you

Yes you will still need to report the changes.

The council should know the rate of your SP because they receive information from DWP,
You will need to report any increase in the annuity/Work pension.
