Your change of circumstances report for Universal Credit
You reported a change to your additional benefits on 26/12/2024
Dear Hadi Al-Moosawi
One of the conditions for claiming Universal Credit following a change of circumstances
is that it is reported within a prescribed period. You must tell us about your change of
circumstances before the end of the assessment period in which the change occurred.
You reported a change that happened on 26/12/2024 This declaration was made
outside the assessment period in which the change happened.
The decision maker has reviewed the reasons for the delay in notifying us of the
change. On this occasion it has been decided that special circumstances apply and your
Universal Credit will be adjusted from the date of change.
Changes to your Universal Credit entitlement will be shown in your monthly
statement.
If your circumstances change
Universal Credit is operated by the Department for Work and Pensions www.gov.uk/universal-credit
You must tell Universal Credit straightaway if there is a change in your
circumstances. If you give wrong or incomplete information or you do not report
changes straightaway you may:
• be prosecuted
• need to pay a financial penalty
• have your Universal Credit payments reduced or stopped
• be paid too much money - you will have to pay back overpaid money when told to
do so.
Yours sincerely
Universal Credit
