Hello again. Just a question. So the only ' changes in circumstances which may trigger LCWRA review are health issues/updates? Other stuff like  new tenancy agreement,or child moving in has nothing to do with LCWRA? I'm a bit stressed over it now, I don't want to get review and be not awarded 'child element ' jeez!!! I would shoot myself in foot right there.

As I advised in a previous comment these changes will have no affect on your LCWRA element. Same applies for any new tenancy agreement or any change of address.

Thank you .

Hello. Friday night I reported change of circumstances. Today I can already see payment for 1child added to my UC. Is this normal? No checks,no questions, or it's system error. Kind of strange...

Have you received your monthly statement? I wouldn’t expect you to be able to see any changes until you receive that.

Yeah statement with payment for the 18th February

I reported that on Friday. Saturday and Sunday they are not working,am assuming. So it's strange they added this to my statement £290 . So didn't they check anything?

Perhaps they checked with HMRC and were able to confirm that you are receiving Child Benefit.
