answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2018 answer text <p>Bereavement Support Payment is intended to help people with the additional costs in the acute period immediately following a bereavement, rather than providing an income replacement. Income-related benefits are more suited for longer-term assistance with everyday living expenses. Unlike the suite of bereavement benefits it replaced, Bereavement Support Payment is paid in addition to any other benefits the recipient is entitled to, thus helping those on the lowest incomes the most.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 27/02/2018 11:05:16 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
