Redundancy matters .
Discussion
Looking for help /advice from any experts on the above .
In the event of early voluntary redundancy - what is the position with regards to giving up job - have you voluntary ceased employment for jobcentre purpose( and are subject to 13 week rule) ,or are you being forced out of work ?And how are payouts regarded .In the unlikely event of these being phased over a period , what protection against them being regarded as "income " by DSS is provided . And in the event of an employer promising to pay you're redundancy over a timescale ,and the firm goes bust - what are you're rights to collect .
Help - got to make my mind up which way to go .

I'd only take voluntary if I had another job lined up, or they offered a ridiculous payout. Otherwise you're so much better with compulsory. From a job centre POV voluntary redundancy is basically resigning - i.e. 13 week rule and all that jazz.
ETA - payouts that are made by law (statutory redundancy and any untaken leave basically) should be made in one lump sum by your employer, so there's no issue with phasing. Anything else you're subject to whatever agreement you come to with them and will probably be classes as a normal creditor in the event they go out of business (i.e you'll get sweet FA).
