You might be able to claim Bereavement Support Payment

If you've recently lost a partner, you may be able to claim Bereavement Support Payment from the government.

Up until recently, only couples who were married or in a civil partnership could make a claim for Bereavement Support when their partner died. A change in the law opened up the scheme to unmarried parents who had been living together.

Find out more about Bereavement Support Payment, including how to claim, and how the law has changed.
