She can claim JSA whilst looking for another job, although I have no idea how any redundancy money she may have received might affect that.0

She can get contribution based JSA regardless of redundancy pay/savings for 6 months if she has enough NI contributions. Other benefits would be means tested on her and her partners joint income.
Does he work full time and how much does he earn? Do they have any children?
She could run some figures through one of the benefit calculators, such as entitled to or turn2us, but won't her redundancy pay keep them going for a bit?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0
