    Hi @lindab2411 welcome to the community - you need to let the DWP know about any change of circumstances, you can read more about it here on the CAB website.

    It says:
    You can phone the helpline that deals with your benefit to report the change of circumstances. If you do this, it's best to also confirm the change in writing to the office that deals with your claim. You don't need to fill in a special form. You can just write a letter setting out the changes and the date when they happened.
    If you made the claim online you can report a change of circumstances using your online account
