![A graphic styled like a page from a notebook, with a picture of a woman labelled as Susan, '#FixTheFEP', the Quaker Social Action logo and a quote from Susan:
'I was on Carers Allowance for supporting my dad and it was topped up by Universal Credit - so I would have been eligible to get the help [with funeral costs] off the DWP. And they said no.
I felt numb in a way, because you put off that grieving process and you deal with the finance side of it. I don’t know where my mental health was.
People do need that help and support.'](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t73wgradooai4s42ettrgydm/bafkreiahlnmc6vpculbujpbyh6cxyxjpx7dacoo3jbbomaj4a4ix7m5mx4@jpeg)
