Bereaved daughter campaigns for law change
A 23-year-old daughter is campaigning for a change in the law after her father died last year.
Rebecca O'Hearn from Ipswich was shocked to find she wasn't eligible for the Government's bereavement payment - a £2,000 one-off benefit to help families cope financially.
