gorn orf the page

Thanks Cynthia - and all !!

I really am not well enough to do it myself !! and I live SO far away!!

The neighbours are sorting it, and the council !!

I really do not want anything from him but just want to tie up all the 'loose ends'

Just want to do things right !!

Thanks all,

Dea Xxx

P.S. - Thanks DetEcTive - I contacted them but they say that they only cover certain areas and NOT the Central Manchester area which is involved here.

I will send off the form and wait to see what happens.

Our pensions are paid straight into our bank account too.


Dea, you really need to go through his paperwork yourself. There could be things which are essential and also personal.

I have a friend whose brother died in similar circumstances last year. She and her husband had quite a time sorting his paperwork out and found bank accounts and stocks and shares all over the place.

What about his bills etc...........


Not an easy time......

Dea - just spotted your remark about Pensions. If you think he had a State Pension i.e. OAP, you ought to contact the Department of Works and Penions.

Under the subheading - telling the government about the death.

DWP Bereavement Service

In England and Wales, the DWP Bereavement Service allows you to report a death to the DWP in a single phone call, which will cover all the DWP benefits the person who died was getting. At the same time, the Bereavement Service can do a benefit check to find out if the next of kin can claim any benefits and take a claim for bereavement benefits or a funeral payment over the phone.

The contact details of the DWP Bereavement Service are:

Tel: 0845 606 0265
Textphone: 0845 606 0285
Tel: 0845 606 0275 (Welsh)
Textphone: 0845 606 0295 (Welsh).

If you have already reported the death to the Tell Us Once service, you don't need to tell the DWP Bereavement Service. But you can contact the DWP as well if you would like them to do a benefit check or help you to claim bereavement benefits.

The Bereavement allowance is given to every person that dies ---so I was told ---- it has to do with NI contributions made by the deceased


Surely all the records were at his house -- have you not been in his home

Renes

I didn't think you could claim that unless you could not afford to pay for the funeral Renes ?? - Done that now anyway - after all, he was my brother !!

I will have to try to trace his post office account then.

Thanks Renes,

Dea Xxx

Dea

I have a pension and they are paid into Bank or Post office

Have you claimed for the Bereavement allowance to pay the cost of the funeral


Renes

We have a very limited choice, Manx Telecom, Sure and WiManx. I'm with Manx Telecom a little more expensive than the others but the others are renting the lines off Manx Telecom. On the whole I am happy with them it's just the last couple of weeks that has been a problem.

They where going to charge me to change lines but when they put my connection info up on their computer, it was the worst they had seen and so are going to do it for free. They wanted what was left on the current contract plus a set up charge for the broadband on the new number. However, I argued my case and the manager eventually agreed with me(most probably wanted to get rid of me)

Until you don't have it you don't realize how much you depend on it.

A least I could do my farmville on my phone

Anyone here in the UK who has a pension please?

Still trying to sort out brother's bit and pieces!!

I think it was said recently that pensions had to be paid into a bank or post office account ??

Is there a 'pension' book to sign like you used to have to claim the money or is it all through an account somewhere?

I need to make sure that it is not still being claimed.

Just got the form to send off to cancel things but the4 council will be clearing his house and will probably leave bin bags of 'paper work' everywhere !!!

They were supposed to ring me back but haven't !

Would like to get it all tied up properly !!

Three Friday Night gang are here....orf

You cant beat BT....I know they are not the cheapest but they have the lines! I do wonder if they could cause......to give others a bad name :-D

Sounds very complicated Toots......do you really live in outer Mongolia..? .lol
:-D :-D

I have an intermittent Internet connection. They have recently switch over the network and ever since then it keeps chucking me off. Must have been something I said lol

I am changing my broadband over to my second line. Went into my service provider who will do this within the next five days. They just want to check my router for faults before the do so. The second line is in the middle of the house so should give better coverage.

Funny thing is since talking to them the outages have been less.

Just going to read the boards

Notaclue.

Cyns...I is not alone!
