DWP Bereavement Service

If the person who died got any benefits, you should report the death to the DWP. You should do this even if you’ve used the Tell Us Once service.

The DWP Bereavement Service allows you to report a death to the DWP in a single phone call, which will cover all the DWP benefits the person who died was getting. At the same time, the Bereavement Service can do a benefit check to find out if the next of kin can claim any benefits and take a claim for bereavement benefits or a funeral payment over the phone.

The contact details of the Bereavement Service are:
