Hopefully a very simple question:
The "Tell Us Once" service you can use after the death of a loved one.
Their site says the following:
=================
You’ll also need:
=================
details of any benefits or entitlements they were getting - for example State Pension
details of any local council services they were getting - for example Blue Badge
Now of course when the time comes to it, I would fill in the state pension, as that's the only main/repeating benefit ever being given, so telling the "Tell Us Once" service will stop this.
But what about Winter Fuel Payments?
Is that another additional thing that needs to be detailed, or is it, as far as DWP concerned linked to the State Pension,
and does not have to individually be mentioned as a benefit on the form?
So it just gets automatically cancelled when the state pension is cancelled?
Naturally I have basic pension info, but no info for winter fuel as it just used to arrive automatically.
Thanks in advance.
