Bereavement Benefits

EDM number 800 in 2009-10, proposed by Andrew Pelling on 03/02/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Bereavement benefits and Mortgages.

That this House recognises that bereavement benefits are paid to those who are obliged to cope with singular difficulties at an emotional time; notes that receipt of such benefits can debar an individual from access to mortgage support; and urges the Government to reconsider this policy.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
