Redundant March 21'

4.3K Posts

Quite a shock, though not totally surprising.
I'll be redundant end of March,
that's pension cont's almost gone, unless I find work.
Approx 12 mths part time redundancy payment to be received.
What is sensible way forward , I have M.S. 10years (not wheelchair yet) though did drop from full to part time dues to hospital visits etc.
I have a Mortgage to continue paying.
Should I try finding some work, or request benefits help= I get PIP though WTC's will drop.
Also I have been asked to find a Lawyer to check Redundancy doc's before signing them.
t.i.a.

List of lawyers suggested.
I'll speak about other disability benefits locally next week.
And call a Lawyer then.
If there are several of you being made redundant and each receiving £30,000+ then I would perhaps look to cooperate with them and arrange for on3 solicitor to effectively come in and sign all at once.
you haven’t mentioned if the company is offering PILON? If you are going to achieve an additional years service during the PILON period, sometimes gardening leave will be more beneficial to enable you to achieve a further year of redundancy pay.
you haven’t mentioned how much you are due to receive though so just going on generic advice here.
as for your question, only you will know if you need to find additional work due to your own financial status.
Jan = £715 / £1,000 Feb = £1,275 Mar = £400 (fallen behind will make up in April)
Apr = £ May = £ Jun = £
Oct = £ Nov = £ Dec = £
Thanks though only a few years redundancy, no where near to 30k range.
thanks anyway
Redundancy could not have been accepted formally without the sign-off from a solicitor.
Dandyytf, it sounds as though your company are offering terms that go above and beyond the United Kingdom Statutory Redundancy guidelines (perhaps benefits which could be HMRC tax linked) so yes, a legal advisor would be best in this situation.

This is very new to me, though 1st calls for help are being made since yesterday.
