I'm sp sorry for the loss of your dad, you've had some really good advice here. I know from mum's friend, she lost her husband 2 yrs ago, she was only working part time, but earning more than IS,JS etc.
They didn't have much savings.
I know she was given a bearvement money for the furneral, and as she was under the pension age, she had widows pension, this was for 12 months only.
Hope it all goes as well as possible under the circumstances.

xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
