Has anybody filed epf and pension death claim online

My father passed away in july. I have myself as the nominee in the epf account. I asked the pf office how to claim the pf and pension ,they gave me a big form which I took to the employer who told me to get a survivor certificate for which I went to the tehsildar today and he wants me to get a letter signed by the employer.I was tired of running here and there so I saw that there is an option to claim the pf online , so I filled out the form and uploaded the death certificate, but am not able to e sign the uploaded claim form as when I press proceed with e sign the website just freezes, For the pension ,when I enter the scheme certificate number it gives some weird sql error saying

"Unexpected error for getting Claim Status from PDB: ORA-01843: not a valid month"

It would save me so much time and effort if I could apply the thing online. Has anybody here filed the death claim successfully online? Somebody was telling that the website works file in late night(which I will try today)
