Age Concern Waltham Forest

Charity Number: 1048212

Home

Bereavement benefits are available to both men and women. They replace the old system of widows' benefit that only women could claim. Women whose husbands died before 09/04/01 continue to claim widow's benefit.

There are three different bereavement benefits:

Bereavement payment- a one off payment of £2,000;
Widowed parent's allowance if you have dependant children;
Bereavement allowance - payable for one year.
