Redundant Wednesday...... what to do now?

    From the look of things, there's mixed opinion about what should be done, but if I were you I'd get down there and explain your situation, at least you are "in the system" then. Last time I was in a Job Centre it was very busy, must be worse these days. The worst they can do is tell you to come back after 10 weeks...

    If on garden leave and not given PILON then you are still employed so beniits JSA will not be available but a god idea to start getting into the system.

    Your employer should be providing support in this area.

    Sorry to here about your job loss,
    The first few pages on my thread explains a bit about what happened to me .,
    similar to you
    My sugguestion is to fill the forms out online
    http://www.dwp.gov.uk/eservice/
    you get a phone interview a few days after and they should tell you if you can or can't claim,

    HTH
