(asked on 22nd May 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many families have claimed bereavement support since 6 April 2017.
This question was answered on 29th May 2018
The Department publishes quarterly Bereavement Support Payment statistics that show the volume of claims being paid broken down by standard rate and higher rate payments. Claimants with dependent children and entitled to Child Benefit, or who were pregnant, when their husband, wife or civil partner died will get the higher rate.
