Redundancy claim advice

Hope someone can advise on this situation.
I was made redundant in july and have just this week received the rp1 form from the liquidators which i filled in immediately and sent back.
A couple of issues I need advice on are:
My salary has reduced significantly since I started working there 6 years ago as my hours have been less and less over the past 18 months due to the recession. I have filled in my claim based on my current wage which is around £250 a month but my previous salary would be up to £1000 a month. There was no where on the rp1 form to submit changes like this should I have added in this information separately?
Secondly at the time I was made redundant so too were all the other employees on the basis that the company was insolvent and didn't have funds to pay us anymore.
The company has changed its name slightly taken on half of the staff who were made redundant at the same time as me and have retained the customer base so in effect are still 'trading' they never even moved out of the office and the staff taken on had no 'break' in employment but are all still claiming redundancy the same as me. One is even claiming additionally for unfair dismissal bun on what grounds I have no idea!
Have I been treated unfairly and should I be contacting the liquidators about these two points?
