The Minister is correct that there were three bereavement payments, but this section specifically refers to the bereavement grant. The bereavement payment is a benefit. The reference in the section is specific to a grant that was abolished in 2014. I accept that the Minister would like to reintroduce it, but if the terminology is retained in the Bill, I would like to see the grant restored fully. Is the specific reference to it in the Bill an indication that he will examine the matter in the context of the budget next year?
