The 'deaths, funerals, & probate' board may be your best bet for future posts.

Was going to say just the same: Deaths, funerals and probate

My sincere sympathies. It has been a hard time for you all.
Look after each other and all of you try and grt some rest when yiu can. The next immediate period will be stressful too with all the formalities to be negotiated.

Yes, there are some very kind people on this forum who are prepared to share their knowledge and experience. It restores your faith in human nature.

My condolences to you and your family. It's heartening to hear that you feel supported by mse.

PIP is payable at the highest rate if you're terminally ill and should be rushed through. It's not means tested and is backdated to the date you claimed.
When I claimed for my husband it was done fairly fast, as I recall.

I'm sorry for your troubles. It's a tough time.

Sorry, just read about your brother's death. I'm sorry for your loss.

Something else that just occurred. If your brother has life insurance, a lot of the companies will pay out on a terminal diagnosis. My husband's did.
