You asked: Do you need to see original documents for a death claim?

Yes. We will need to see the original death certificate, we cannot accept a copy. We may also need to see original copies of any grant of legal representation, where required.

We understand you may need the documents for other reasons so we'll get them back to you as soon as we can.
