    Rent / service charges: Yes

    State Pension increases: No, DWP already know about these as they pay State Pension (SP), but you must notify UC of any other pensions you may receive.

    NS ESA: No - see above, same as SP

    Carers Allowance: No, this is DWP too

    LCWRA is an element of UC so already part of UC - nothing to report there.

    So in summary, only need to report changes to housing (rent/service charges) from your above list.
