In February 2023, the Government extended bereavement support to cohabiting parents in response to two legal challenges and a decade-long campaign by bereavement charities including WAY Widowed and Young and the Childhood Bereavement Network.
But, they only gave a 12-month window for retrospective payments. There is an estimated 21,000 bereaved families who may be entitiles to backpayments before the deadline of 9 February 2024.
