A2 benefit form?

2 replies

I've recieved an A2 benefit form in the post to "check I'm recieving the right amount of income support"
I've only been on it for 3 months, and the form seems the same as the last one, except it says its from a "benefit integrity office"
I realised when I received it that I haven't changed my address on income support (but have on housing benefit which I started when I moved)
Am I in trouble for that or is this form just a random one sent out?

Fill it in and send it back, I work in HB, but they are checking to make sure that you are still entitled to benefit. Was the form sent to your new address?

Have you updated your tax credits claim?

Basically the income support and housing benefit computers have info on you that doesn't match up and the job of benefit integrity us to find out why. So they have sent you the a2 form so you can let them know which address is correct and they can change which ever computer system is wrong.

You will only be in trouble if you fail to give the right address on this new form or have not informed them of another change that affects your entitlement to benefits. Even then i wouldn't call it trouble-would just mean you have to pay back any overpayment.
