A heartbroken mum whose fiancé died in a car crash is calling for a change in the law after she was denied bereavement benefits even though she lived with him for five years – just because they never married.
 
Stacey Oakley, 32, lived with partner Matt Krekelaar and their two children Ava-Rose, four, and Aurora-Grace, two, before his untimely death in October 2018.
 
The couple from Yate, Gloucestershire, had been planning to get married since Matt popped the question in 2014 and were saving up for the big day.
 
Mum-of-two Stacey has now launched a petition to force a change in the law after she was turned down for Bereavement Support Payment, and has already amassed more than 100,000 signatures.
