Curious that New Zealand is on the list, but Australia seems to have been dropped.

A friend in Oz certainly received the bereavement benefits when her husband died 10 years ago.

The only means tested benefit possible to claim now is Universal Credit and you won't be able to claim this when you don't live in the UK.
