Description

This has effectively been replaced by Bereavement Support Payment, which we model, so we'd just want to model for historical analysis.

Research direction

Start by reading openfisca_uk/variables/finance/benefit/personal/BSP.py and the linked GOV.UK description of Widowed Parent's Allowance. Determine the historical scope needed alongside the existing Bereavement Support Payment model; done means the allowance is represented for historical analysis and its behavior is covered by the project's relevant tests.
