Hi, my brother sadly passed away on 15th April, as I was his next of kin I received the rest of his dla that he was due, does this mean that I will receive his cost of living payment of £150 due jun/July also?. If so I can put it towards his memorial. Many thanks

    Sorry for your loss. Yes, you will be entitled to the £150 CoL payment on his behalf.

    Thanks so much for your kind words.. really does mean alot.  I'm the last family member now. I literally have no family I'm only 43. Parents were only child's and I spent my life caring for my brother and unfortunately can't have children myself. I have a partner and he has family but it's not the same.
      If anyone woulld like an adopted aunty or sister... I'm here guys.  Xx

    @JojoYazin I'm sorry you lost your brother and that you don't have any family left.  Awful for you 

    I'm glad you do have a partner for support
