  • a publicly-funded residential care facility informing us that someone is now residing in their accommodation
  • a local authority giving us of information that has an impact on the level of assistance an individual is entitled to
  • a court or tribunal informing us of a decision in a case which alters an determination of entitlement
  • other organisations involved in the person’s life who may be aware of a change of circumstances
