Social Fund consultation

The National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) will be making a detailed submission on behalf of the profession in response to the Department for Work & Pensions consultation paper regarding reform of the Social Fund.

Anyone who is interested in commenting on how the system of funeral payments can be improved should forward their responses to the NAFD by May 28 at the latest – preferably by email to Alan Slater (slats@nafd.org.uk) or to Nigel Lymn Rose (nigel@lymn.co.uk)  

Funeral payments are covered in chapter 5 of the Social Fund Reform consultation document, which can be downloaded at www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/social-fund-reform.pdf
