Bereavement Support Payment
Bereavement Support Payment has replaced Bereavement Allowance (previously Widow's Pension), Bereavement Payment, and Widowed Parent's Allowance.
You may be able to get Bereavement Support Payment if your husband, wife or civil partner died in the last 21 months.
You must claim within 3 months of your partner's death to get the full amount. You can claim up to 21 months after their death but you'll get fewer monthly payments.
