Hi @Willowalizah welcome to the forum,

Hi and welcome
You don't need to reapply you can report a change in circumstances, this does prompt the forms to be sent and a new assessment and a new decision
You should only report if the change significantly impacts your daily living and would get you a higher award
Always recommend to get some expert advice from welfare rights before doing anything -
Welcome to the community @Willowalizah
Have you had a chance to look at Janer1967's advice above? Here's a page from Citizen's Advice about reporting a change in circumstance, and here's a link to advicelocal.uk, through which you can find advice local to you should you need it.
Does that help at all?
