Sacked what benefit entitlements do I have.

  • Thanks for the advice from everyone yesterday. I was a little bewildered by everything. I went to the CAB today to get some advice. Their benefits checker predicted a figure of entitlement for me. I was on £33,000 pa in my job, and if I claim everthing that were entitled too we will be about £35 pw worse off, net, amazing really. The only other loss is private medical cover and pension contributions. This really helps in the short term and takes the pressure off a little, giving me some time for my dignity to recover and to explore how to move forward. (new job, retraining, or freelance are options). They also said that once I have appealed, if that goes against me, then I may have a case at tribunal. They also help with advice and legal representation. It's amazing how different things feel after a nights sleep, even if it was very light. Thanks once again to everyone who offered advice yesterday.
