Back in the days when I was constantly switching between being on JSA and doing casual work (for which I always remembered to 'sign off'), I frequently notified DWP of my change in circumstances by simply posting a note through the door of my local JobCentre Plus.
That appears to still be a valid method. Quote:
"You can report a change of circumstances by . . . writing to the Jobcentre Plus office that pays your Income Support - the address is on the letters you get about your Income Support".
