answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2022 answer text <p>The time limits for claiming Bereavement Support Payment are already generous in that an individual would need to be 21 months late in claiming to forfeit the entire benefit. The existing three-month time limit for the monthly instalments is consistent with other social security benefits, and for the lump sum the time limit is 12 months; we believe these are reasonable lengths of time to make a claim.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Claire Coutinho question first answered 18/10/2022 13:04:20 answering member 4806 label Biography information for Claire Coutinho
