Help and support for you

It is important that you also receive the right help to support you though this difficult time. Weldmar Hospicecare offers bereavement and counselling support and our team will be in touch with you to discuss these services over the coming weeks.

In the meantime, have a think about the following three areas:

Are you eligible to receive bereavement benefits?

• You may be able to receive a Bereavement Support Payment if your spouse or civil partner has died. Visit www.gov.uk/bereavement-support-payment.
• You may also be eligible for Guardian’s Allowance if you are bringing up a child whose parents have died. Visit www.gov.uk/guardians-allowance.

Look at your own taxes, benefits and pension

Depending on your relationship with the person who has died, your tax, benefit claims and pension may change. For more information visit www.gov.uk/death-spouse-benefits-tax-pension.

Do you need to apply to stay in the UK?

If your right to stay in the UK depends on your relationship with someone who has died, you might need to apply for a new visa. www.gov.uk/visas-partner-dies.
