Hi debmeister, welcome to One Space, I am sorry to hear that you have been made redundant.

May I suggest that you contact One Parent Families Scotland who have a free helpline - 0808 801 0323 - open Mon - Fri - 9.30 - 4.30.

As I believe that entitlements are different in Scotland than in England.

Good luck, let us know how you get on.
