New State Pension and Pension Credit amounts from April - inform council?

Options
If someone's in receipt of both housing benefit and CTR, do they need to inform the council of the annual increases / changes to their SP and PC amounts once DWP confirms these changes?

Also, would they need to report in-year changes to their pension credit amounts?

    If you get Guarantee Credit  of PC the no need to inform them as that  gives the passport to full HB & CTR.
    Only time there would be a need to inform them is if the Guarantee Credit ends.

    Just realised that I've tagged @HillStreetBlues incorrectly, so will tag here as unable to edit my original post.
