I was wondering if anyone could advise me on this dilemma.

My elderly aunt was admitted to hospital several weeks ago. Earlier in December she asked me to collect her pension for her and go to her house and ensure that her bills were paid.

I intended to collect her pension on xmas eve but I ran out of time so intended to go today when I had more time. On Christmas day my aunt's condition deteriorated and she died that night. :( I am going to register the death today and collect her pension as she had asked me to as it is overdue. I have been told by a friend that it is illegal to do so once the person has died.

I am only trying to do what my aunt asked me to do. AIBU?

Think that's illegal...known as fraud.
