Furlough - clarification whilst working redundancy notice


I was given notice of redundancy on 25th January and due to length of service, am still on the company payroll.  
Can I be furloughed even though I was made redundant prior to the 28th February? 
Any help/advise would be most appreciated.

    Furlough is an alternative to redundancy and is to protect jobs that would otherwise be lost. It appears your job has been lost so there is no reason to resurrect it at a cost to your ex-employer. 

    You can apply for Universal Credit but the timing is key as you'll get your final pay on 22nd April which will count to any calculation.

    • When on someone else's be it a road, a pavement, a right of way or a property there are rules. Don't assume there are none.
    • "Free parking" doesn't mean free of rules. Check the rules and if you don't like them, go elsewhere
