Well, in the probate case that I'm dealing with, I've had to notify them (HMRC/DWP/IP) as they've been overpaying for 10 months now. They require me to send (post ) them a form along with the death certificate so that they can check the status ! This after all the correct procedures had been followed re informing the embassy.
Perhaps someone could suggest that those helpful British embassy people might interact with their government colleagues at the DWP or IPC when informed of the demise of a pensioner. They have all the necessary information after all.
If they can only deflect the issue for a few more weeks, then they'll be able to lay the blame on neighbouring countries, ( with a degree of justification)......

Guess you're not offended by having your privates grabbed by them then either ?
By "them", I mean those aggressive individuals who attempt to block your passage (so to speak)
There's a generation of elderly drivers on the roads (cars and bikes), who are less aware and drive like 20 years ago...often oblivious to their surroundings !😁
