Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the Answer of 28 April 2021 to Question186186 on Bereavement Support Payment, what his timetable is for completing the evaluation of the Bereavement Support Payment.
The exact timetable for completing the evaluation of BSP is still under review.
It has always been our intention to evaluate how Bereavement Support Payment (BSP) is working once sufficient time has elapsed to allow claimants to come to the end of the 18-month period of payment, and for a sufficient sample size of claimants to build.
