    had been working full time, and then i requested to change to work part-time in same company (have been now part-time for about two years) and have used up my job stamps (for claiming benefit for two days) since March, i was means tested - was declined.... now looks like i may be made redundant....my question is - is this possible a new claim - so i can claim a new application for job seeker or some type benefits

    Sounds like your means will have changed, so you may have a claim for Jobseekers Assistance again.

    In relation to your redundancy payment, according to the Citizens Information website:
    Reduced hours and short-time work

    If you were made redundant within a year of being put on reduced hours or pay, your redundancy payment would be based on your earnings for a full week. If you are made redundant after working reduced hours for more than a year, how your payment will be calculated depends on whether you accepted being on reduced hours or not. If you fully accepted the reduced working hours as your normal week and never asked to return to full-time work, then your redundancy payment will be based on your gross pay for the reduced working hours. If, on the other hand, you never accepted the reduced working hours as your normal hours and continually asked to be put back on full-time working, your payment would be based on your normal weekly earnings.
    If you have been put on short time and then are made redundant your redundancy payment may be based on your pay for a full week.
    If you have a dispute about this with your employer you could make a claim to the Employment Appeals Tribunal.
