   You are required to report all type of changes in your circumstances that may directly or indirectly affect your benefit. Failing to do so may result as benefit fraud which could lead to a prosecution with a possible imprisonment for some time. It is very important to understand the nature of changes in order to better report them. There are some changes that increase your benefit, while others decrease the same. For instance, you are a single parent entitled to specific amount as housing benefit and now you are trying to search some job. In this case you may get the jobseekers’ allowances as well. In other case, for instance, you got a pay raise and your benefit might decline.

   
   Also note down that sometimes your benefits may change while your circumstances remain the same. Let’s say, the government increases the benefit payments to cope up with the inflation. In this case you will be told by the authorities!
