bereavement support failed to make proper changes

My husband passed away recently. I uploaded all the necessary documents to Bereavement Support, and received an email on May 1 that said the account had been transferred to me. However, I cannot access the account. I am receiving a message that I do not have the authority.

I have been trying to solve this issue for almost FIVE HOURS today. I am currently on hold for one hour and 45 minutes to speak to a manager.

I was chatting on a DM for a few hours yesterday. My husband passed away and I have been trying to transfer my husband's account and permissions to my name. I do not know how to get back to that message chain. The person I spoke to was not able to resolve the issue and was going to get back to me today.
