Make DWP and HMRC refer to widowed elderly people as Widowed not single people.

Petition Details

My 84 yr old father was married to my mother for 64 years, she recently died and he is bereft. The DWP and HMRC now tell him that he is a single man. This is this deeply distressing to him, invalidates their marriage and is not true, he is a Widower and should be respectfully acknowledged as such.
