    Yes you need to update housing benefit and council tax.

    Your PIP and ESA are not affected.

    So I wouldn't have to inform pip and esa of change of circumstances

    That's correct, as it's irrelevant who does or doesn't live with you.

    OK thank you I was just confused as on dwp website it says if a person moves out its classed as change in circumstances

    Do you already receive Severe Disability Premium with your ESA?

    What is your PIP award please?

    I was just making sure in case you weren't getting it but could be entitled to it 😊
