We review your Special Benefit regularly to make sure you:
- can still get the payment
- are paid the right amount.
Reviews also help us identify if you may be eligible to apply for another payment.
When we review your payment, we’ll let you know if we need more information from you.
We may also review your and your partner’s payment details as part of our Payment Accuracy Reviews.
Tell us about changes
If you or your partner have a change of circumstances, you need to tell us about any changes within 14 days.
If you are a dependent child and get Special Benefit, your parent or guardian needs to tell us about their changes within 14 days.
If you don’t tell us, we may pay you too much. This means you may get a debt and you’ll need to pay us back.
