Hilary, I agree with Camilla . I presume the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing and the bureaucracy just keeps rolling along. Your kids, I think get the survivors benefits not primarily you. It may have been while they were not living with you they might have a case but since they have returned I think you are in the clear. I believe the rule for that is physical custody not legal. Check with social services (your favorite people) and a supervisor if necessary as Camilla suggests. There has got to be an error. Let me and all of us know what we can do for you. Charlie Camilla Flintermann wrote: > Bob has a good idea-- also I wonder if checking with a lawyer--Legal Aid, > perhaps?--would be a help.
