If you have lost your job through redundancy you normally qualify for Jobseekers Allowance. Although you cannot claim Income Support or Income based Jobseekers Allowance if your personal resources (including redundancy pay or unfair dismissal compensation) exceed 8,000, you may qualify for Contribution based allowance.

Yeah i thinks thats's right TBT. If you've paid in enough contribution then you can claim contribution based. Something like £67pw if my memory serves.
Mind you, council tax and mortgage help you wont get.
