Guardian's Allowance
Changes to your circumstances
If your circumstances change, your entitlement to Guardian’s Allowance could be affected or your payments could stop.
You must report the following changes straight away:
- the child goes to live with someone else
- you go abroad, either temporarily (for more than 8 weeks) or permanently (for more than 1 year)
- the child leaves full-time education or approved training
- your bank or contact details change
- you find out where the surviving parent is
- the surviving parent comes out of hospital or prison (or has their sentence shortened)
- the surviving parent makes a payment towards their child’s upkeep
