And the UK's Tory Nasty Party follow this with

"Under the current system, when a spouse or civil partner dies there is a £2,000 tax-free sum called the Bereavement Payment. For those with children there is the Widowed Parent’s Allowance, a taxable benefit of up to £487.71 a month (£5,852 a year). This is paid until either the youngest child in the household no longer qualifies for child benefit (a maximum of 20 years), or the widowed parent moves in with a new partner, or reaches state pension age"

"The changed system, however, will mean that if a spouse or civil partner dies after 5 April there will be a tax-free lump sum of £2,500 if there are no children, or £3,500 if there are. There is then a monthly tax-free payment of £100 if you don’t have children and £350 if you do, for 18 months, regardless of your age or whether or not you marry or move in with a new partner."

I guiess the difference is whether one is born into 'privilege' or not.
