A woman and her daughter has missed out on £45,000 of benefits since the death of her partner - because they were not married. Alice Evans is now campaigning for a change in the law.
At the moment, those who are not married do not receive bereavement benefits. Alice, from Derbyshire, says the law is outdated and people in her position should be entitled to the same support, reports DerbyshireLive.
Bereavement Support Payments were introduced in 2017, replacing the Widowed Parent Allowance and other payments. Alice's partner, Daniel Sillwood, died suddenly in his sleep in 2014.
