emigrating and bereved parents allowance

niggyp

Hi all

as the title suggests i recieve bereved parents allowance for my 2 children, their mum died a while back
ive recently been asked if id like to move to australia, sponsors etc arent a problem

my question is regarding the benefit, will i still recieve it while im there, also if i dont is it something i can re-claim for if it dosent work out and i return home..it is a taxable benefit

i know that once my youngest reaches a certain age it stops anyway but thats 10 years away

ive always worked so im upto date with my contributions

thanks :j

sorry forgot to add its actually classed as a "pension" not a benefit
