How do you tell them that you have died?

You have to inform them if your savings change, but this happens every time you make a purchase. They don't specify how much your savings must change.

You are "a one" Derek !!! LOL.

I think we needed an injection of humour !

Maybe every claimant should contact DWP, if they are away for the day at a hospital appoinment etc, I wonder how they would cope with that!.

The DWP do ask on income-related benefit claim forms how much money you actually have in your purse/wallet/pocket at any given time, and include it in the section entitled "About bank and building society accounts, savings and property!"

'What a difference a day makes'

do they mean 24 hours? I would argue in court that a day is 24 hours!

Anyway Derek,

There is is quite a reasonable solution to the "Dying" criteria that I'm sure the DWP would reasonably expect a claimant to carry out.

Arrange a "Seance" from beyond through your spirit guide??.
