redundent
was made redundent 2 weeks ago, £2,500 hand shake, signed on the dole admitted to having over £16,000 in the bank so i am intitled to £65,40p plus my royal navy pension of £51 a week which i don't get the first payment in arrears till next month as i have only just turned 60, have looked everywhere for a job, no one wants to know at my age, [fully skilled engineering manual machinist] anyhow a part time job came up, locally, 15 hours a week as a maintainence man in a old folks home,minimuim hourly rate, better than sitting on my harris, asked the job centre how i stood at earning roughly £90, was told i would lose my £65,40p, i asked why, its because i will be getting a navy pension, so all in all taking the job would net me £140 before stamps, come march next year i will be entitled to nothing, yet its in the local paper today if my wife fosters an immigrents child we will be given up to £400 a week

Sorry about the redundancy, it can be quite a shock when you have skills that no-one wants to make use of.
Shame it's brought out such bitterness in you, mind. |

It can be really depressing, look at things like React funding and back to work subsidy, there is plenty of schemes and courses out there and employers like react. Like all things it's down to investigating and asking, the jobcentre never seem to offer these options.
Good luck and don't get to disheartened.

Can totally sympathise with your current situation. I was out of work for 2 months recently, but there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

The only ones that get told everything they can claim are the immigrants that bring a friend to say they don't speak English what can they claim and they get it all spelled out.
A common con is they turn up at hospital with alleged problem can't speak English but there friend can interprit at a cost. |
