Does back pay count as a state benefit when it comes to applying for notice pay?

Hi,
I've just been made redundant as my company has gone into administration. They also owe me about 3 months worth of back pay. I have been with the company for about 6 years. As they have no money, I think I'm going to have to rely solely on the government support - but have a question regarding notice pay.
I will be applying for 8 weeks back pay, as well as some holiday pay. Will this affect the money I will be able to claim as part of the notice pay? I know that notice pay is affected by state benefits like Job seekers allowance, but am unsure if the back pay will be considered a state benefit or not - obviously if it is I wont get any notice pay at all which would be a bit of a kick in the teeth.
Any advice regarding this would be extremely helpful.
