In a previous thread you mentioned claiming carers allowance, Income Support and housing benefit as well as Tax credits, thread here https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/89219/help-with-my-benefits#latest
Are you still claiming those benefits?

You will need to report the changes to Income Support and this will stop. 

You also need to report the changes to your local Authority and your housing benefit and Council Tax reduction will be recalculated.

You also need to report the changes to HMRC for Tax Credit’s. Whether this continues will depend on your earnings. 

There shouldn’t be any affect on child benefit.

regarding  the tax credits  do you mean it depends on what i earn monthly or annually ? also   can i  do the change from the gov .uk site ?

Tax credits is based on earnings received in the previous tax years unless there's a £2,500 difference (which there will be because you weren't working) and then they will calculate it on this years income.

I'm not sure if this can be reported online though, sorry. You can have a look and if there's no where to report it through your Gov.uk account then you'll need to ring them.

Do also be aware that you will at some point be sent a letter for migration to Universal Credit.
