Been made redundant after 6 weeks...

Options
Whilst i realise i wont get any redundancy etc if i sign on i wondered what the situation would be with my rent ? can i claim any monies towards it ? I have no savings as such. Just wanted a quick heads up to know what to expect when i go to sign on on Monday.

Living on my own, seperated from my wife, no dependants.

thanks
Si

  • has the position been made redundant or where you just let go? You as a person cannot be made redundant.
    The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!

    If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

    The company went into receivership and all 54 people are now jobless.

    If you are renting you can claim housing benefit. If you are a home owner you can claim help with the interest on the mortgage.
