When a partner or spouse dies, you may be entitled to financial support from the DWP. The main bereavement benefit in the UK is Bereavement Support Payment - a tax-free payment available to eligible surviving spouses, civil partners, and cohabiting parents. This guide explains who qualifies, how much you can receive in 2026, how to make a claim, and what other financial support is available after a bereavement.
