After never being out of work, i now find myself facing redundancy.
My company are relocating (60 miles away) and find redundancy the only option
I don't know where to start....I have been informed at my final meeting that I will receive my notice in lieu as they do not wish me to work my notice, which is 11 weeks.(i am on "garden leave" till I receive my final letter.)
I live on my own with my 14 year old son, I rent my house from my parents and I have been claiming working and child tax credits. I know they will have to be informed but what will I be able to claim is it Income support or job seekers is it means tested with my child maintainance.
Sorry for rambling but i need help can someone point me in the right direction.

oh yeah missed that bit thanks!
In that case you will have to claim JSA.
Do you have a tenancy agreement with your house rental from your parents or is it an informal agreement?0 -
I did originally sign a shorthold tenancy agreement but not renewed for quite a good few years.0
-
In order to claim LHA you need to have a formal agreement in place and you need to be charged the going rate rent. Is it a buy to let mortgage that your parents have in place on the property?0

No the house is bought out right there is no mortgage on it. I pay the going rate in rent that is equavalent to the councils current charges.0
