I've asked this before but every expert on here very biased towards I ps I'm in the process of claiming bereavement benefit for my deceased wife if I'm successful I got a one off payment and 18 months subsequent payments my friends brother is a barrister of law he told me point blank a bereavement payment and a bereavement payment is not a windfall extra in come for the term yes but he said if the iva takes the lot it breaches your human rights to bury your spouse etc so who do I beleive when this site seems biased towards I ps
Once again, I am sorry for your loss --- but respondents on this site are not "biased towards IPs". We are all people who have gone through an IVA ourselves and what we tell you is our opinion of what might happen, based on our real life experiences and the experiences of others who have had an IVA.
The previous advice given here was that it wasn't a windfall, could be counted as income going forward and you should speak to your IP --- sort of sounds like your barristers reply.
If you have a barrister on board, get him to fight your corner with your IP. Have you even asked your IP what his views are at this stage ? With all due respect you are arguing against something that may not even be an issue.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
IVA Completed 23rd July 2013 .... C.C. 10th January 2014
