Feel so much better now.
Sorry to be nosy mate was that just under £18000?. Getting out of Royal Mail may be an option coming to me soon as after 14 years and a year and a half of problems, my body can't take anymore. They've just piled even more work on to us all and we all use hct's,which is the problem, as so many people are on long term sick.
With everything all in it was just shy of 16 k which I was happy with as I was 25 hours with 3 years in the job.
Got to think how long will the current ihr be available?
That's true especially when Royal Mail is fully privatised next April!. Did you manage to get full pilon as well and holiday pay in that?. As i say sorry for being nosey i'm just curious in case the worse happens to me mate. I think the shares are currently worth about 3 grand to which gives you a nice healthy 19k. Most of the people i speak to who are out of Royal Mail seem a lot happier. The atmosphere is shocking now and unbearable.
Bloody hell i thought it was around 19k-20k including selling your shares. That's the impression i got from the guy who was ihr in my office, he had been there 28 years. I don't think that is good at all.
Saying that though you were part-time (25 hours) from your earlier posts, I'm on a 39hr contract and have been since about 3 years after i started (14 years nearly in total) so i think that it would probably be a little more.
Nice to hear there's life outside Royal Mail and things are going well for you. Thank you for your time and replies!.

As for what I'm doing now....
Claiming contributions based ESA and halfway through another thing which I can't discuss but is working out okay .
I'll start looking for work or go back to college and retrain probably next year before I am able to do so.
I'm lucky tho.my misses has a good job and we have zero debt.idnbe stressed if we did lol.
You can only claim ESA for 6 months as it's not means tested. After that you will go onto income-based ESA which will be bugger-all as your partner works...
Cheers Spider, you've been a great help!. I'm struggling on at the moment, albeit with difficulty, but I'm preparing for myself in case the worse should happen. Keep in touch be good to hear from you.
The calculation is £405 multiplied by 46 = £18,630. That's assuming you get 12 weeks PILON.
. What are you doing now have you anything lined up, or you taking it easy mate?.
