Mutually Agreed Resignation - Benefit Entitlement Query

I work for the NHS and the Trust I work for are going through yet another restructure

We have been informed about the MAR (Mutually Agreed Resignation) scheme and I am contemplating this. However we have a deadline of the end of the year for applications and I do not think that I will find suitable/alternative employment within this short period.

Therefore I need to know whether I would be entitled to any benefits or is the MAR scheme classed the same as voluntary redundancy/resignation where you are not entitled to benefit for 6 months? Also if my application was accepted, would I have to work my notice of 4 weeks?

thanks in advance for any advise/help
