funeral payments and h.b ...
Thu 17-Apr-08 12:20 PM

... probably seems like a silly q. for a cls benefit adviser but can a person receive a funeral payment from the social fund if they only receive housing and council tax benefit ?

cheers ...

Reg 7(4) of The Social Fund Maternity and Funeral Expenses (General) Regulations 2005 lists the qualifying benefits and the inclusion of the word “or” between the final two means that the claimant only has to be in receipt of one of them.
