    Ok, the worst has happened, Ive lost my job and a few other have too, as my employer has made cutbacks, Im currently on illness benefit. What do I need to do, do I stay on illness benefit or do I need to claim or sign for jobseeker benefit?

    Stay on illness benefit until your GP gives you your final cert(fit for work)then apply for JSB.

    Hi snaps there is infermation on the citizens information .ie, there could be ground for unfair dissmisal
    If your employer decides to make you redundant while you are on sick leave, you may qualify to bring a claim for unfair dismissl. Unless your employer can prove there was a genuine redundancy situation and that fair procedures were followed, your dismissal may be found to be unfair. Even if a genuine redundancy situation exists, you may bring a claim for unfair dismissal if you consider that you were unfairly selected for redundancy. Your employer should apply selection criteria that are reasonable and are applied in a fair manner.

    No I don't think this is the case. Its a small company and for ages I've wondered when this day would come. I'll keep my eyes and ears open, but its all been genuine (I hope)! Thanks for advice.

    It may be the kickstart we need, been thinking of moving abroad for a while now, this just may be the catalyst we needed.
