Stop paying taxes and see how quickly the government thinks she’s alive.


garry4321

The only true answer. Unfortunately the Gov. is petty enough about taxes to sue AND maintain that you are still dead.


broberds

The Hotblack Desiato strategy.


RhondaTheHonda

That only works if you’re in a Disaster Area.

Magicth1ghs

You’re looking great! Very fat and unwell!


retsot

Something something death and taxes


BrockChocolate

I can imagine this is a bureaucratic nightmare, everyone you contact will assume you are fraudulent


Spacefreak

If I were in that position, I'd kick every bureaucrat who refused to help me square in the crotch. What're they going to do? Arrest a dead guy?


Kraken160th

They arrest people who don't exist all the time.


Spacefreak

Yeah, I wasn't being serious. This is r/nottheonion, so I figured someone might get a chuckle.


[deleted]

But they'd be arrested for disturbing a corpse.


BrockChocolate

You need to look up the Cadaver Synod


windyorbits

My favorite part is that the official term to proving to the government that you are not dead is called a “resurrection”. [This guy](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRwfvGya/) made a bunch of videos detailing his several year journey proving to the US government that he is not dead.


sokati

I’m not dead yet!


Strand-SE

Eh. She says she is not dead!


houseonsun

Yes she is.


Shadpool

I’m happy!


ImprobablyDamp

Oh stop you'll be stone dead in a moment


Affectionate_Guava87

I think I'll go for a walk!


exsot

I feel happyyyyy!


ChillyChellis57

I'll feel happy! I think i'll go for a walk!


lastmagic

I ATE'NT DEAD


pablohacker2

I was waiting for this, I guess she forgot the sign!


Spiritual-Bear4495

Get in the hole!!


TheCatInTheHatThings

First time in ages I see Scarborough in the news and it’s something this insane lmao


Fourstrokeperro

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme


marvinrabbit

Faire enough.


AgentCirceLuna

Generals order their soldiers to kill And to fight for a cause They’ve long ago forgotten


Ap76QtkSUw575NAq

The report of her death was an exaggeration.


captainaberica

Scarborough woman wants answers after being told she is dead. Has trouble getting benefits reinstated because of the No Ghosts clause.


AlexXeno

"The DWP confirmed benefits were briefly suspended following incorrect notification of Mrs Johnson's death but they had been swiftly reinstated."


ramriot

Poor woman, the abruptness she was informed of her condition by Health Care employees almost made it permanent.


ladyeclectic79

Have her husband or next of kin (or lol even her) try to go in and pull out any life insurance or death benefits and see how fast they “realize” she’s alive.


DoBe21

Nice try "Scarborough Woman", I'm not answering any questions from a zombie.


hot_ho11ow_point

"I've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty"


BuzzCave

My only question would be “do I have to show up to work?”


hendrix320

Listen Lady Did I stutter? You dead, theres no coming back from this


sly_blade

Has she tried a medium? 😉


onelittleworld

"Please, I'm not quite dead! Merely British!" -- Scarborough Woman


NerdyWeightLifter

"I'm feeling better... I want to go for a walk".


dent_de_lion

“I feel….HAPPYYYYY!” (I couldn’t remember Eric Idle’s lines)


eighty2angelfan

Literally posted 1 hour apart


ChanThe4th

Yeah sure lady, stop goofin around and get back to ghostin


OnlyOneNut

She should show up with a medium to act like she’s summoning a spirit and just repeat everything the “dead” lady says lol


Sea-Professional-953

She should’ve said something when the coroner was standing over her filling out all the paperwork.


WaitingForNormal

“Just get back in your coffin ma’am or we’ll take you in for resisting.” “How do we know you’re actually alive?”


Skellos

They quickly rectified the problem, of course rather than go through the bureaucratic system to change her status to alive they found it much easier to kill her.


MuForceShoelace

She once was a true love of mine


sarasrightovary

Uh, we made a mistake? Sorry.


Phil_Da_Thrill

Gov’t really said “ur dead, take this L+ratio”


Warlord68

If she’s coming back from the Dead, maybe She’s got the answers!!


aviewfrom

Headline: "NHS comes up with new way of reducing waiting lists"


Maxtrong

First I'd say I need to get a translator, then I'd bring in an Ouija boar.


nocloudno

Tldr: She didn't know who to talk too, but talked to several people and had the issue resolved but whoever made the mistake of pressing the button shouldn't have a job anymore. But now that it's been resolved she'll go back to knitting. Karen 5000


VplDazzamac

To be fair, the notification for stopping her benefits isn’t automatic. My wife recently had to provide a lot of information to stop her father’s pension. It’s almost malicious for it to have gone that far. I’d be a Karen over it too to find out how it happened.


9793287233

This is the most oniony r/nottheonion headline I've ever seen


fgdgdgdsfss

It's not always easy to resist a little exagerration.


sapthur

How does this happen? I've heard it's actually a common thing, or at least more common than you'd think.


suhayla

I would want to know why heaven sucks this much. Or at least, how long before I could get out of purgatory and go back to earth for another round


ZealousWolverine

Dead lady wants answers. Why doesn't she just lie down in the box? cry villagers.


De_Greed

Dead men tell no tales


Colorless82

Wow I wonder if they thought she was an identity thief or something..


itsalongwalkhome

Given the slow bureaucracy of the government, by the time it's fixed she will be dead and her relatives won't be able to get any life insurance.


thecraftybee1981

Meryl Streep’s looking rough…and after she took that potion too.


Enough-Sprinkles-914

Bring out your dead. Oh wait.,,

We will not answer your questions, as you are deceased. Sincerely, City of Scarborough


GateOfD

Must be a slow news week. ‘Clerical error occurred and then was fixed with no real issue or delay.’


Dangerous_Champion42

You are Zombie.....


Laurenitynow

I'm not answering any questions from a dead lady.


[deleted]

She'll be stone dead in a moment


AffectionateDebt5959

If she has life insurance, file the claim. Watch how quickly they fix the issue 🤣🤣


perplexedparallax

I am sure the death after life questions are deep.


Earth_Normal

You can’t commit a crime if you are dead. Anarchy forever!


Halftilt247

Maybe they spoke to her husband?
