Redundancy

Hi.
I was made redundant a while ago.
Today, some of my ex colleagues received a large sum of money. I didn't. 
How can this be?
Could some of them have contacted a solicitor independently, but as a group?
Can I argue that I should be entitled to this as well?
Thank you.

    It rather depends on exactly what this large sum of money was for.

    Without knowing this you can't determine if you might be entitled to payment too.

    How long did you work for the company?

    Did the company stop trading?

    Was it solvent?

    So many factors involved it's impossible to know whether you are entitled to anything.
