Been down that road twice, first time the union screwed us out of more money with their lies about redundancy payout. The second the company lost its contract and they closed that part of it down.


The only thing I can say to you is they will make you jump though hoops if you sign on. Back in 2015 when i was last out of work the job centre made me suffer from very bad depression which i'm still not fully over and probably will never be.



So I know a bit what you are facing, being 63 years old is the worst case for you and all i can say is start the cut backs now big time. If you do sign on its not going to be nice under the new and tougher system. I wish you all the luck and hopefully something will come along.


If you have to close your Internet join a library that has Internet. Granted like my one you will only probably get one hour free a day but that's better than nothing.
