Dear team, Since one of my parents died and I have gone back to full time education, I receive a "survivor's" pension from my country of origin to help support my studies up until the age of 27. I raised the question over the HMRC chat, since I wanted to know if I would be taxed on it and the person scheduled a call with one of your colleagues. I was on the phone with a lady a couple of days ago and we discussed that it could be related to a bereavement support payment, although that is usually paid to the partner, meanwhile I am receiving it. I am struggling to understand if I will pay taxes next year because there seems to be not an adequate fit for that, although it is basically social provision I am receiving.
