THE RECENTLY BEREAVED SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FACE UNNECESSARY HASSLE
“It is vital that we make the system less painful when someone has lost a loved one,” said the Liberal Democrat Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, Stave Webb <
Commenting on Wednesday’s report by the Low Incomes Tax Reform Group which sets out policies to improve bereaved people’s experience of the tax system, Steve Webb said:
“It is vital that we make the system less painful when someone has lost a loved one.
“All too often, people who have recently been bereaved have to wrestle with dozens of different Government departments and endless form-filling, just at a time when they are least able to cope.
“A single point of contact is essential if we are to ensure that people who have been bereaved do not face unnecessary hassle at a most difficult time in their life.
