RE: Just got back. What should I know?

I agree with above advice but, just off the top of my head, here's a few things in your field to look out for:
Jobgrant extended to those aged 18-24 who are neither sick nor parents.
New 4 week Tax Credit run on at the end of a claim.
Changes to reporting arrangements for tax credit changes of circs (these were probably flagged up before you went away).
Prisoners no longer able to get WTC.
Refugee intergration loans introduced.
From next April Permitted Work for claimants on incapacity related benefits, will have earnings disregards for means tested benefits, equal to the earnings limits.
Pathways to work replacing new deal for disabled people in various areas from next month.
In-work credit (where applicable)to be increased to £60 but date of change not yet available.
Do check though as I haven't actually checked any of this
