Redundancy, notice and payment query

Hello, today I found out that I am up for redundancy, purely by mistake as I saw a job description for a job that does not exist but is basically what I do
Any how I confronted my boss and he said that I would have been told on Monday and that I would be able to apply for the two roles they have made, one which is half the wage I am on and the other is too technical for my skill set
I know that this is their way of getting me out and I know that I know they would never get either job
I have told them that I want out and just want to go now, it's very clear they don't want me so to cut our losses and just go
I am on three months notice and I joined the company 2 years at the end of this month, I am presume that they have to pay me the three months notice at full pay and as I am over 41 I and presuming that they will give me 1.5 weeks for each year and hopefully they will take it that I would be there for two years but knowing them they won't
So can anyone confirm if my presumptions are correct and also, given that I am on three months notice would they also have to give me any holiday allowance for those three months or would it only be calculated upto when I leave (which I hope will be tomorrow)
Also, I know that I have been treated unfairly and that this is a forgone conclusion that I am out, it has been manoeuvred in such a way that I can't have a job there so I feel it's best I just go but not sure if I have any claims against them or if it's even worth it, I presume that if I am thinking of taking them for unfair dismissal that I would need to see the process through and stay and go for the roles they say I can apply for?
Any advice would be appreciated

Also to add, if I went throught the process they would have to put me on 30 days consultation and then once that it up they would have to give me three months notice so if I was to go tomorrow then instead of the three months pay in leu of notice and the 1.5 weeks for the two years I would have been there there would they also have to pay me for the 30 days consultation too?0
