Hi,
Hope someone can help, as I am not sure what is the best option for me.
Since my pregnancy 3 years ago I have suffered from very painfull back and hip pain. As a result I have had to take time off over this period from work.
Voluntary redundnacy is now being offered in my company (have been working there 13years) and I am thinking of taking it, as I am getting warnings about the amount of time I had to take off due to pain (genuine I may add).
My questions is, can I take the redundancy and then claim illness benefit or should I just go for JSB.... Which would be the best option for me?
Would it look funny if I went from redundancy to illness benefit??? - It is a genuine problem, last year had to take 11 weeks off!
Any advise welcome.
Thanks!
Sleepy
