I around mid June was made redundant from a charity that I had worked for 1 year and 6 months.

Due to funding issues my position had to go. I was given 4 weeks redundancy notice, but now I am not working I was wondering if I am entitled to benefits?

I have money in a bank account but that will gradually go down.

Please advise me what to do as I have never been in the situation before

If you have 2 years full NI payments then you should be able to apply for contribution based JSA.

Prior to the job I have been working I was unemployed for two years, and claimed JSA

Then you would only allowed to claim income based JSA, so it depends on how much you have in your account.
