Claiming for Bereavement

Bereavement is the result of an accident or injury which causes the death of a person and leaves family members without any source of income. Claiming for bereavement can provide support for family members in these situations.

Bereavement allowances are the regular payments that are paid for a period of fifty two weeks from the period of bereavement. These allowances are generally based on the national insurance contributions of your late partner. Earlier this was also known as widow’s pension.
