If we are helping you with your redundancy claim, and you are applying for statutory notice pay, we will ask you information regarding any benefits you applied for during your notice period and also cash you acquired during that period. Redundancy Payment Service (RPS) typically deduct from your payment the value of any benefits you received and any money you earned during your notice period.

If you choose not to apply for benefits, RPS may still make a deduction from your statutory notice payment. RPS may deduct the value of the benefits you could have received if you’d chosen to apply.

We recommend that you apply for any benefits for which you may be eligible. You can find information about what benefits you may be eligible for at: www.gov.uk/benefits-calculators.

Kind Regards

CFS Redundancy Payments
