There are three benefits available if your partner has died. They are bereavement allowance, which is paid for 52 weeks, bereavement payment which is a lump sum payment and widowed parents allowance which is paid if you are caring for a child.
Factsheet F28 - bereavement benefits is a basic introduction to bereavement benefits. You can find out more detailed information in Disability Rights UK's Disability Rights Handbook, available to buy at www.radar-shop.org.uk/.
