In the weeks following a death
Once you’ve registered the death, you need to tell various organisations about the death.
Government services that need to be told include:
- HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)
- Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)
- Passport Office
- Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)
- Veterans UK (to cancel Armed Forces Compensation Scheme payments).
Our services will also need to be told. This includes:
- Council Tax and Housing Benefit
- Children’s Services
- Adult Social Care
- Council Housing
- Macmillan Welfare Benefits Service
- Blue Badge Scheme
- concessionary travel
- electoral services
- assisted refuse collections
- libraries and leisure centres
The Tell Us Once service can help you report the death to a range of local and central government organisations in one go.
