If someone gets made redundant we understand that they can claim contribution based JSA for six months based on their NI contributions, regardless of if they have savings or not, but ... if at the same time they start to get their pension paid early because of redundancy…

Is this unfair dismissal?
The day after I was made redundant a new role was created which I would have applied for if I was made aware of it during consultation, but I was not. Is that unfair dismissal? I was made aware of a few roles (one of which was half my job) but they all involved a huge pay decrease. All thoughts appreciated!

As we had a bad winter, i hadn't been back to work by christmas, then…
