Common law partners can lose everything unless a will is drawn up. They are also not recognised as being the next of kin regardless of how long the have lived together. People have lost their homes when a partner has died rendering them homeless. I wanted to raise this as an issue that is being ignored at the moment because people are concentrating on the number of deaths from Covid 19. I have heard numerous announcements of a partner or a partner and children being left when a loved one dies. If a partner dies intestate then their partner gets nothing and that can be devastating particularly if the deceased owned the family home. All assets would go to the next of kin, child, parent and so on leaving the partner who shared their lives with no rights at all. We are living in the 21st century and we have antiquated laws that do not acknowledge common law partners Last year my husband was asked to be executor of a will the amount involved was anything from £1000000 to £3000000 to be left to his partner of 50 years if she survived him or to Newnham ladies college Cambridge. Unfortunately he died before his will could be drawn up leaving his partner with nothing. A family member lost her partner a few weeks ago. She knew something was wrong because he didn't phone when he said he would. The police refused to give her any information because they were not married. She had to contact his son to try and get information that she received 6 hours later. She has not been allowed to see him because the person claiming to be next of kin wouldn't allow her to. Within 24 hours they were collecting his belongings some jointly owned and have been disposing them. They have also been given wages owed plus death in service payments. They want all his belongings from the property they have shared for 16+ years. It is a truly appalling situation. Weddings are not taking place because of lockdown and have those involved have probably not thought about leaving a will and more importantly don't have the next of kin status. Many have shared their lives and homes for many years. It is time the law was changed to identify common law partners in law in the same capacity as those who are married.  Losing a partner is hard enough without losing your home and identity of being in a partnership. I hope that you are able to help highlight this problem and in turn help to get the law changed as a matter of urgency. Our own Prime Minister currently has a common law partner and she should also be protected in law. I need your help to get the law change urgently to prevent families being affected by Covid 19 from losing not only a loved one but their home and their identity of being a partner.

To give support to those who are dying, to help families manage and cope with grief, which is worsened in current climate due to the impact of lockdown.

Parental unemployment, furloughed wages, Universal Credit delays, interrupted public transport, food bank shortages and missed free school meals mean that children are going hungry unnecessarily. All children have a parent who receives child benefit already; increased payments would require very little administration to implement and would immediately allow families to buy food, pay for fuel for cooking, washing and laundry.

Death in service Support to extend death in service cover is needed from the Government for all healthcare workers, to give them peace of mind for their families and loved ones, should the worst happen. Now more than ever with the pandemic of covid 19 and the NHS STAFF working tirelessly to treat the patients, we are just as vulnerable as anyone else. PPE does not make us immune. The dependants of NHS staff receive their full death in service entitlement, irrespective of whether they are an active member of the NHS pension scheme. To ensure medical students, junior colleagues and lower paid NHS staff’s families receive a fair entitlement, we are also calling for the introduction of a minimum amount payable if an NHS worker dies in service.

People are already living in debt. The implications of the covid-19 pandemic mean that more people will be even worse off. Banks should of course be allowed to charge for borrowing, but with interest rate slashed to an historic 0.1%, it's not so easy to justify a flat rate of 40% apr.

It poses a serious threat to the wellbeing and lives of babies.

It's important because I've had to drop down from 5 days to 3days work due to childcare cost being excessive. As a single mother 3 days is still crippling my pockets. I just don't understand why the 15/30hours free is not given at an early stage as maternity pay typically finishes at 9 months forcing most mothers to go back to work. To get the free hours at a younger age would be a great insensitive for more mothers to go back to work without the huge stress off cutting down on days and being financially unstable. What's the point in going back to work to use your pay for childcare costs? When we have other household bills that need paying and families to support.

Grandparents, siblings and inlaws often take in children and are not recieving any subsidy. They do this from a position of virtue not moneygrabing. Out fostered children come with a budget. The infostered children frequently cause dire financial hardship; some infoster guardians may be well off most are not particularly grandparents and sibling.

It is important because if people in Northern Ireland love each other, it is disgusting that the government can take away a persons right to be married regardless of their genders. It is a human right to not be discriminated, so why should they be able to take away a human right?
