    hi if you had said ive been made redunandt and i have no wages comming in till middle of november i woulfd have said apply for HB CB, but as you will be getting a wage i dont think you will be entitled to anything.
    Having said that get in touch with a welfare rights advisor (avaiable at your local sure start building) for some advice. Good luck in your new job!! MMM x

    sorry you have lost your job :o

    you wont be entitled to claim anything because even though you arent working, you are still being payed.

    Good luck with the new job.
