I am getting confused about this as I believe people do not understand the meaning of a universal payment. By no manner or means is the bereavement grant a universal payment. It is not paid to everybody who suffers a bereavement in this country. It is not paid to people with a lifelong disability or to small farmers who draw farm assist because they do not have the contributions. It is paid only to people with contributions.
