Reviewer feedback on this answer:
It doesn't mention BSP. It's not a relevant answer.
There is a lot of information here.  It tells how to make a claim, but it doesn't say anything about when someone's partner dies.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Check if you can claim a grant through the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme
section_headers: Who can claim
section_content: You can claim if you’re a self-employed individual or a member of a
partnership and all of the following apply:

you traded in the tax year 2018 to 2019 and submitted your Self Assessment tax return on or before 23 April 2020 for that year
you traded in the tax year 2019 to 2020
you intend to continue to trade in the tax year 2020 to 2021
you carry on a trade which has been adversely affected by coronavirus

Your business could be adversely affected by coronavirus if, for example:

you’re unable to work because you: 
are shielding
are self-isolating
are on sick leave because of coronavirus
have caring responsibilities because of coronavirus


you’ve had to scale down or temporarily stop trading because: 
your supply chain has been interrupted
you have fewer or no customers or clients
your staff are unable to come in to work



You should not claim the grant if you’re a limited company or operating a
trade through a trust.
To work out your eligibility we will first look at your 2018 to 2019 Self
Assessment tax return. Your trading profits must be no more than £50,000 and
at least equal to your non-trading income.
If you’re not eligible based on the 2018 to 2019 Self Assessment tax return,
we will then look at the tax years 2016 to 2017, 2017 to 2018, and 2018 to
2019.
Find out how we will work out your
eligibility including if we
have to use other years.
Grants under the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme are not counted as
‘access to public funds’, and you can claim the grant on all categories of
work visa.
You must make the claim yourself. Your tax agent or adviser must not claim on
your behalf as this will trigger a fraud alert, and you will have to contact
HMRC. This will cause a significant delay to you receiving your payment.
How different circumstances affect the scheme
Check if your circumstances affect your
eligibility for the following:

if your return is late, amended or under enquiry
if you’re a member of a partnership
if you’re on or took parental leave
if you have loans covered by the loan charge
if you claim averaging relief
if you’re non-resident or chose the remittance basis
state aid

The answer isn't relevant. BSP isn't mentioned.
There is a lot of info here about the BSP.  None of the information mentions a partner that died, but the information is relevant and helpful.

page_title: Bereavement Support Payment
section_headers: If your partner died more than 21 months ago
section_content: You may still be able to claim BSP if your husband, wife or civil partner’s
cause of death was confirmed more than 21 months after the death. Call the
Bereavement Service helpline.
If your husband, wife or civil partner died before 6 April 2017, you may be
able to get Widowed Parent’s Allowance instead.
