Your Grief

The law has changed in the UK.

If your partner dies before you reach the state pension age, you may be due bereavement support payments. While this help was previously only available if you were married or in a civil partnership, a recent law change means cohabiting parents are newly eligible and can get backdated payments worth £10,000s. But you only have until 8 February 2024 to claim this backdated support.
