I am a single parent on benifits and would like to change my surname.
There is no frudulant reason for this, or any other reason just I dont like my surname.
I recive child support and income support and am scared that if will effect my benifits, that my money could get stopped?

Just inform the DSS of the change. It should be as simple as that. They will need proof from Deed Poll.

No. You'll need to explain it all to the benefits office and show them a copy of the deed poll. There may be a delay while they change their records.

you still get benefits don't worry. But you might not be able to change your child's name without the father's permission.
BTW you don't need a deed poll - just a statuary declaration.

It shouldn't affect it, but you will need to send them a certified copy of the deed poll so they can change their records
