    As far as I am aware a redundancy payment is to support you untill a new job is found.

    You could certainly use some of it to pay your BR fees.

    If you have cash left and are working when you go BR then I imagine the OR will view it as an asset and use it to pay your creditors?

    It may be a protected item - not sure. Someone wiser than I will come along and answer in more detail.

    Good luck pal!
