What am I entitled to now i've been made redundant

Hi,

Having just been given my redundancy notice, am looking into what I would be entitled to if, after 21 years of continued employment I can not find new employment.

I ran a calcualtion for myself on Entitledto.co.uk as per;
Married (wife not working or claiming benefit / housewife)
3x children (1x 3yo & 2x 21mths)
Mortgage in excess of £100000

It said I was entitled to £833 per week! (after 39weeks). This surely cant be right? Its more than I currently earn!!

Having insured myself for being made redundant, would this monthly payment be classed as additional income on the entitledto claculator?

That definitely doesn't sound right.

Your tax credits will increase but then you'll see a drop when your twins turn one.
You should get JSA straight away unless you have redundancy money, if you do have that then you'd be expected to spend that first.
I think you'd get mortgage help after so many weeks, around 26 I think.
