Redundancy payment advice
Discussion
Company I worked for closed last month (administration) so going through the redundancy process of applying for lost pay, pay in lieu of notice, redundancy payments etc.
I just wanted to check with people who’ve gone through the same that the money is coming in correctly.
Day after we were given the case numbers I applied for the standard redundancy, added in lost holiday from last year, notified I’d be applying for lieu of notice etc. 10 days later I received a letter saying they’d (insolvency service) approved ‘Arrears of pay owed’ which covered my 4days of lost pay, but nothing else. Does the main redundancy payment come through separately?
Having received that letter, I was also supplied with the LN number. How long does this usually take to activate so I can apply for lieu of notice? I’ve tried calling them but it either rings out or is engaged
Thanks for any advice!
P.S it’s actually worked out well as I’m emigrating later this year!

Just to update in case anyone else goes through the joy of dealing with Insolvency.
Process of payment once you’ve applied is
1. You’ll receive “days owed” (notified by email)
2. You’ll receive redundancy pay a couple of weeks later (notified by email)
3. Lieu of Notice takes about 3-4 months. They’ll notify you when you can apply.
Don’t bother trying to call as the phone number doesn’t work
Expect a week or more for replies to emails
You’d think there’d be better support for people who are just out of work.
Appears the government system is setup for the perma-unemployed. Those who’ve contributed and are trying to sort themselves are an inconvenience
