Compensation for loss of Notice

Hi,

I am hoping someone might be able to help me make sense of this.

I was made redundant without warning several weeks ago. I had been at the company for over 2 years.

I had to make a claim to The Insolvency Service for the following:
- Arrears of Pay Owed
- Holiday Pay
- Redundancy Pay
- Compensation for loss of Notice

Arrears, holiday and redundancy letters/notifications were emailed to me on Saturday and all made sense and were correct (as far as I am aware). This evening I have received by email a letter regarding compensation for loss of notice. It states the following:

The follow payments you received during the notice period have been deducted from your claim:

Money earned -£897.52
Benefits received -£31.32
Benefits you may have been entitled to but did not
claim -£0.00

Your payment for compensation for loss of notice is:
Gross entitlement £357.28
Tax Deducted £71.46
NI Deducted £22.95
Notional Tax Deducted £0.00
Net entitlement £262.87

What I do not understand is why they have deducted -£897.52 money earned. Fair enough the £31.32 I claimed in benefits.

From what I understand is they think I earnt this sum during the notice period?
Is this correct?

I started a new job after 8 working days, so I assumed I'd be stopped 2 working days notice pay.

I certainly did not earn £897.52 for 2 days work during my new job.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have emailed them asking for clarification but I expect this to be a slow and confusing response off the insolvency service.

Thank you.
