Notify us of a bereavement

If you need to inform us of the passing of a member of the Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS), you can use this service to notify us.

Please provide as much information as you can. Examples of information we need include:

• details of the deceased (such as name, address, date of birth, date of death, National Insurance number or FAS reference number)
• details of the person - or persons - in charge of the estate (if known)
• whether there are any potential beneficiaries (if you're unsure, please read our 'Payments for spouses, partners and children' booklet)
• a scan of the death certificate (if available)

We're also part of the government's Tell Us Once service. More information can be found on the Tell Us Once website.
