Report a change in circumstances
If any of your circumstances have changed since making your application, you must tell us so your application can be updated and reassessed. You cannot be verified for social housing if your circumstances at the time you are matched to a property, have not been updated. You may lose the property if this is the case.
You need to tell us if your circumstances have changed as this may affect your housing priority banding. You cannot be verified for social housing if your circumstances at the time you are matched to a property, are incorrect. You may lose the property if this is the case.
The following are examples of changes that you must tell us about:
- change of address
- adding people to your application (for example, you have had a baby)
- removing people from your application (for example, you have experienced a relationship breakdown, or you have children who no longer live with you)
- your employment, income, assets or savings have changed
- there is a change to your immigration status
- there are changes in medical conditions which are affected by your current housing.
In the event of a change of circumstance, you will need to complete a change in circumstances form and provide proof of the change, for example, full birth certificate for a new child, a tenancy agreement, utility bill or bank statements for a new address etc.
