    Numpty if I remember when I took voluntary redundancy years ago you have to wait 6 weeks before you will get any money. I think you can go it and get it all in place before the 6 weeks but that is the earliest you will get any money. It might have changed though give them a call in the morning.
    Big Big hugs to you

    Oy Inky, thats my game altering peoples quotes ;)
    Hey Numpty thats not too bad then eh, but I used to work in a dole office many many years ago and I think it wont be good news for benefits cause of the voluntary redundancy. You may get a reduced rate and they will want to know how much of a pay off you got too. But hey go an ask. Will it be on that entitledto.co.uk?

    I dunno where you stand on benefits either, numpty, you should be able to claim jsa at the very least though.

    Well, I liked my cottage pie, housemate didn't but didn't know why (or didn't want to say why). Was resting my head on his leg and said 'You are feeling a bit warm there' so I think I'm running a tempertature now. Feel a bit ill aswell so I may go to bed early, but then again he said he'd give me some ice cream, so I might stay up for that.
    Not an expert, but I try and contribute and I'll always listen. Middle child of middle child parents. I drink way too much coffee.
