Been made redundant after 6 weeks...

simonwim

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 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.

Unless its change you can only claim (well recieve it) after 13 weeks.:beer:
