I herby con rm there has been no other changes in either my circumstances or in the circumstances of anyone who
lives in the property with me as part of my household that I have not already reported in writing to the Bene t Service.
Where this change of address has given rise to a Council Tax liability, I wish to be considered for Local Council Tax
Reduction based upon the circumstances already held by the Bene t Service.
