I received a bereavement payment from Centrelink for the passing of someone I cared for. The ex-wiife of the deceased told me this is to pay for the funeral. They had been separated 14 years and she had no dealings with him anymore.
Me not thinking, withdrew the money and gave it to her. I have researched the bereavement payment and it is for my adjustment and loss of income and should belong to me.
Is there any chance of getting this back through the courts or legal system?
