Meeting the regulations

To receive Funeral Payment Benefits, you must first meet the regulations put forth.

We understand that it is often a stressful time and the time taken to organise a funeral can be a burden for those who are still grieving. We are here to help from day one and can take some of the weight off your shoulders to allow you time to grieve for loved ones. Funeral arrangements can then be chosen in your own time and arranged by our friendly staff. For more information, or for help with claiming for Funeral Payment Benefits, simply get in touch.

Step 2: Eligibility

You must be solely responsible for the funeral and must;

Claim in time (within 3 months)

Meet the rules put forth regarding the relationship with the deceased

Get certain benefits or tax credits

Bear in mind, the rules are different if the person died outside of the UK

It is possible to make the claim even if you are currently waiting for an existing decision on qualifying for benefits. The payment you receive also depends on your circumstances and any other money available, either from an insurance policy or the deceased estate.
