None that I am aware of, I wasn't even aware I was financially connected at the time of living with him, other than a shared adress for less than a year. I've been registered on the electoral roll where I am now since 2008, and I have been in continuous work here. I also stated in the letter that I was happy to provide evidence of this should they need it. I think I'm shocked more than anything, he has siblings which would be those in charge of his estate and finances. It's more a case of I literally have no idea what he's been doing since I left. They even ask for the national insurance number of anyone dealing with his estate, I don't even know their names!

Hey everyone, looking for some slight assistance. An ex partner of mine (we split in 2008 and I have had little or no contact with him since, bar the occasional facebook hello) passed away a month or so ago, something I was actually unaware of until the DWP sent me a letter informing me and asking for details regarding his death, care, estate etc etc as he was claiming disability living allowance. I have replied to them with a letter stating that I wasn't aware of his passing until they sent me the request and that I haven't lived with him since 2008 and that I'm not even sure how they even know my contact details as I never agreed to be mentioned on or signed anything whilst we were together. Has anyone else come across this before? Should my letter be enough to end this? Thanks!
