my mum has just become a widow at the age of 67, her husband was 89. she was already receiving a small reduction in her housing benefit and i have contacted them. i have also contacted the council tax dept for her 25% as lone person living in property. she receives state pension already. her husband has left enough to bury himself and give small sums to family..... is there anything else i have forgot, that she may be able to apply for?

If housing benefit was payable might be some help with funeral costs from DWP. Her retirement pension may be reassessed as she might be entitled to some of her husband's pension.I say what I like, I like what I say!0
