It was jolly hard to have an OP of family credit since changes of circumstances were mostly irrelevant. Though I do recall one big case I saw, where the reason was failure to declare capital, over something like 5 years and thus 10 6-monthly renewal applications....though now I thik of it, that was Working Families Tax Credit, but much the same idea.
I have always thought that if HMRC/HMT is so keen on tax credits being dealt with on an annual basis they should do it properly and ignore cahnges post assessment. Never happen, though.
