Widows benefit

[butterfly55]

At the moment i am recieving a widows benefit which will finish in 2 months time because i was told that i would only recieve it for 12 months. Is there any other benefit that I could look to, to help to support me financially.

It depends on your circumstances - your age, your income, your dependents, any disabilities, and the amount of savings you have.


Contact your local DWP for advice, and in the meantime, this online checker may help you:
