yeah that's what I was thinking, apart from the 20 cost I might incur.

I shall wait for a bit and think about it.

also I think it might only be a 20 quid profit. only she says! but you know what I mean, on quidco it was 40.

edited to add - I think it wouldn't work the description says when your application is accepted on line - now I am already a member so I don't need to be accepted so I tihnk no.

which is a shame.

Well just spent a mad hour tidying up the house-kids are outside playing even though it's raining but they're happy so leave them to it I say!

Gosh, it is quiet today isnt it?

OH and I are in complete turmoil today, we got a letter this morning regarding his job that has thrown a spanner in the works:mad:

We really dont know what to do now, its so difficult as I cant really post on here and I need some help but dont know where to find it. If any of you lovely lot are up to speed on benefits after redundancy I will PM the details.

Not much company at the moment I am afraid:o I will be lurking though.

I have looked at that site Bun but our circumstances are a bit complicated so it doesnt cover all the things that may happen.

Anyone know what you are entitled to if you take voluntary redundancy or if you quit your job?:o

When I was left my position of my own accord due to redundancies being made, I was not entitled to claim JSA, Income Support and also benefits such as council tax benefit, housing benefit etc. I have no children though so perhaps if you have children the situation may differ and though I just resigned from my place of work, I was under the impression that the same would apply to those workers who took the company up on their offer of voluntary redundancy as they had, in effect, made themselves jobless.

I would seek advice from such as the CAB. Good Luck

I cant help either, sorry Lou

It always used to be if you resigned or took voluntary redundancy, you couldnt claim benefits for 6 months.

Tax credits are different, they're income based, whether or not you resign. When I left my job just over 2 years ago, they adjusted our tax credits straight away. I left of my own accord
