Being made redundant- what do I do?

[Seriously79]

I'm about to be made redundant. There isn't anything at the moment internally.

Of course I will be looking for another job, but in these current times, it may take a while.

In the meantime, do I need to sign on? How do I do this?

Cv is up together, and will be sent out to agencies and I will be apply directly to places.

Want to keep DD in nursery as long as possible, will I still get the 20% top up?

DP earns about 41k ish, would we be eligible for anything else?

I have e mailed citizens advise, but as yet they haven't got back to me.

I don't have advice regarding benefits etc, but I just wanted to share my story. I got the call on 26th October to say I was being made redundant, with the final decision being made 2 days later. I started my new job today. I know it's a tough market, but there are jobs out there, and someone has to do them!

Good luck!

You’re husband is earning too much for you to be entitled to be grits I believe, see if you can get temp stuff is need be.

As your husband earns 41k. It's not likely that you'll get income based benefits but check on a benefits calculator. Can you survive on one wage?

You will still get the nursery allowance as long as your husband works over 16 hours a week
What industry are you in?
