When to sign on after being made redundant?

Due to the government cuts within the NHS our department is being closed down which is very sad for patients plus us! Those who are on temporary contracts have been told these will cease end of June this year. Permanent contract staff can stay but as to what we will be doing is another question and for how long nobody knows.

We have asked questions but nobody seems to be able to answer them which is really frustrating.

Could anyone tell me if at the end of June my colleagues take their redundancy who long is it before they can sign on or receive job seekers allowance?

    They can go staright down the job centre.

    depending how many NI contributions they've made they'll either get nothing or contribution based JSA for 6 months.
