You do need to let your local authority know when you apply from UC, they will likely ask for your first payment statement to calculate how much Council Tax Reduction you qualify for.
Some councils do treat UC differently to legacy benefits and some people end up having to pay more of a contribution towards CT than before.
Unfortunately because each area has different rules we can't really advise on individual cases from here.
