Not happy with redundancy offer
Comments

The purpose of redundancy pay is to provide you with money for day to day living until you are able to find a new jobKabcha said:I am being made redundant in August. I currently have less than £16k savings and am claiming Universal Credit in addition to my part-time salary. I have a new job for September, which is also part-time, but the redundancy pay (15k) will take my savings over the 16k limit for UC. Does that mean I have to close my UC claim and live off my redundancy pay, which I was hoping to use to pay for dental implant surgery ? Or is there an alternative, e.g pay redundancy pay into my pension and keep the UC top-up?
Advice, please.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0 -
