Effect of future possible income on PILON

Hi, I keep getting conflicting views on this, so I wonder if anyone can clarify?


My husband (aged 58) has worked for the same company for 27 years. Last Friday all employees were advised, completely out of the blue, that the company had gone into administration, and they were all sent home. The Administrators (via the office staff) gave him the info to claim Redundancy, PILON and holiday pay, which we did online over the weekend. We got an auto-reply saying that a claim form for PILON would be issued at the end of his 12 week period, and he would need to advise of any income during that time.

He claimed for the maximum £457 for 12 weeks. Will this figure be reduced by £73 pw JSA? Does it make a difference whether whether he actually claims the JSA? (We are going abroad on a pre-booked holiday in three weeks, so he won't be claiming until we're back). Also, if he finds work for a different company, will his wages be deducted from the PILON claim?

Thanks for any help, and sorry if this is basic stuff but we are reeling a bit!
