UC Change in Circumstances

Hi CAP

I am sorry for your loss.
Here is the guidance regarding the UC Bereavement run on:-

Bereavement run-on
In some circumstances, payment of Universal Credit that would otherwise reduce
or stop following bereavement can continue for a short time. This is called a
Bereavement run-on, for example following the death of a:
 partner
 child
 person for whom the claimant was carer, see Claimant with regular caring
responsibilities
 non-dependants
Bereavement run-on can still apply if someone included in a claim dies within the
first assessment period. All outstanding evidence must be provided and verified
for Bereavement run-on to be paid from the first assessment period.
Payment of Universal Credit continues as if the person had not died for the
assessment period in which the death occurs and the following two assessment
periods.
After calculation of the maximum award, the adjustments made must not include
adjustments such as the Minimum Income Floor for the deceased person, or any
earnings for the deceased person.
The surviving member of a couple will receive a 3-month run-on for:
 the assessment period in which their partner dies
 two subsequent assessment periods
When the 3 month run on period has ended, the surviving member of the couple
must re-declare their circumstances. This is so a single award of Universal Credit
can be made (without the need for a new claim).
