<p>Widowed Parents’ Allowance (WPA) is one of DWP bereavement benefits and provides
financial support to bereaved parents eligible to Child Benefit on behalf of their
child. Questions can be answered from analysing data the Department publishes every
quarter via the Tabulation Tool – see link: <a href="http://tabulation-tool.dwp.gov.uk/100pc/bb/tabtool_bb.html"

</p><p>For example, in February 2014, about 15% of WPA claimants have been claiming
for less than a year and half of them between two and five years; claimants receive
on average about £108 per week.</p>
