widows pension/bereavement allowance

could someone please tell me who would qualify for a widows pension and who would qualify for bereavement allowance? Also could you please tell me how long you get these for - is it a set period or indefinately?

As moderators our area of expertise is in relation to disability living allowance, attendance allowance, the personal capability assessment used in connection with incapacity benefits, and the work capability assessment used in connection with employment and support allowance. So those are the only subjects on which we can provide reliable information.
