Daffy D 2774 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Some long time ago I vaguely remember reading on here about one off payment for widows of UK pensioners when they die ( the pensioner not the widow) I believe the one off payment was about 2000UKP I tried search with the usual non-results, so anyone have update information on this? is it still available? Thanks Edited January 3 by Daffy D Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prakhonchai nick 3632 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 The £2,000 bereavement payment ceased in 2016. Similarly Widowed parents Allowances (for their children) also ceased at the same time. There are no DWP Bereavement benefits for Thai widows, unless they are in the UK when their husband dies, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwasaki 21047 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 When the nice UK took away stuff I made provision for my wife by building some appartments which will give her a bit more than she would get from my UK pension. My wife has 2 café restaurants in the historical park as well so she will be OK when i peg it. Our son will make and take care of things when my wife is old too. So I feel I done my best.
