Help With Redundancy Payment!!

Hi
I was wondering if anyone could give me some help!
Basically, my current employer is making me redundant at the end of August. I have been in my job for over 5 years and am due to receive a redudcnacy payment.
However, I applied for and got offered another job in another part of the company. I applied for this job entirely off my own back and was successful at an assessment centre and interview but the company is now saying I am being 'redeployed' - even althugh I will have to sign a new contract (different position, location, salary, working hours) and effectively waive the benefits I have accrued over the last 5 years.
Do I have any right to claim my redundancy money and if not, should my length of service be carried over?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

    Redundancy - No you are moving within the same company so it is highly unlikely they will pay this as they are not legally required to. (though I can appreciate why this is frustrating given you were given so little help with your move)

    Continuation of service - This should be retained as you are working within the same corporate entity.
