    Sorry to hear that. It's always difficult to sort things like this out after a bereavement.

    First question. Did your sister inform Revenue of her husbands death? If not and they were not joint assessed, Revenue may not have them linked and she may only be getting a single persons tax credit.

    My advice is for your sister to email Revenue with her and her deceased husbands details to ensure she is getting the below:

    Widowed parent tax credit
    One parent family tax credit
