Hi
My Dad passed away suddenly at the weekend. Could I ask my IP for a payment break to pay towards the cost of his funeral??
I have never had a payment break.
Thanks

So sorry to hear about your father.
Yes, you should definately speak to your IP and explain the sitation. I can't see any reason why he would have any problems with that.

I agree with Lizzy, I don't think you'll have any problem with getting a payment break.

Hi kaza, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad,
I agree with lizzy a payment break will be fine & should be granted straight away, get onto your IP & explain, they will understand.
Lots of love n virtual hugs kaza, & u know where we are xxxx

My condolences to you and your family.
I helped with my brothers funeral costs and my IP sanctioned a payment break to help with this.
Talk with your IP and hopefully all will be fine x

Sorry to hear of your news kaza. Can I just ask - did your Dad leave a spouse? If so, are they on any benefits? Only there may be a chance of a grant if so.
Hope you get your payment break ok if you need to take one.
