If I get made redundant what am I entitled too ?

Options
Worked for same place for 11 years and may be getting made redundant.

I am a single male, who lives in a housing association flat.

My payout will be around 10k, no real savings, some CC debt and a son (7)who lives with her mam. but stays with me at weekends.

What will I be entitled too, or what will get paid/reduced in the short term while I get myself another job ?

    By looking for another job, you will be able to claim contribution based Jobseekers Allowance for up to six months.
