Hi Trisha ... I'm sorry for your loss ... slightly awkward to post a clear a rely on someone else's thread ?
The correct procedure for approaching the DWP for assistance with funeral expenses :
https://www.gov.uk/funeral-payments
If there is a deviation , problems will occur ... as you know have , apparently , occurred.
( A case of following the procedures , then acting ... not vice versa. )
In which case , I would recommend the CAB for their assistance.

Can they assist in reversing the DWP's decision ?
Only one way to find out.
