The DWP Funeral Expenses Payment helps low-income individuals cover essential funeral costs, such as burial or cremation fees, with a capped contribution for extras like coffins.
Eligibility requires both the person who has sadly passed away and the person making the claim to have both been receiving benefits like Universal Credit and if not a blood relative then a person with a close relationship with the deceased.
