The practical issues surrounding the death of someone in the family can be overwhelming at such a hard time. Sorting out some kind of financial security often can be one of the biggest worries. This course is aimed at advisers and others who will be supporting families dealing with these issues. It looks at what happens to benefits when someone dies and the benefits that can be claimed afterwards. The course will cover:

• what needs to be done to inform the relevant benefit authorities following a death;
• social fund funeral payments;
• bereavement benefits for people under pension age;
• inheriting state retirement pensions;
• claiming other benefits after a death.
