in Benefits and income
All our benefits have gone up this month. Esa, Income support, child tax credit, child benefit.  Do I need to inform anyone of this? Or do all the different agencies know the money is increasing?

    Hi @starbuck - As this is just the normal annual increase, your benefits haven't changed as such, so you wouldn't need to inform anyone.

    Thankyou. I have problems with anxiety so I always worry I'm not informing people of changes ??

    @starbuck, No need to inform any agencies if your state benefits are or have increased. The only time you need to inform agencies is if your have any regular extra income or inheritance that takes you over the base savings limit.
