I do think Richard has quoted a lot of the benefit regulations accurately but the problem with his posts is that he has failed to grasp that something that can be quoted as a fact is only of use if it is also relevant. I would be interested to hear what relevant experience Richard has regarding his having had to cope with redundancy and what advise he could give to the people who are actually the subject of this thread as apposed to the 'on your bike, no benefits for you!' attitude he has shown so far.
It is just that he posts the regulations completely out of context with regards to people being made redundant as most of the rubbish he has posted has no bearing on people in a redundancy situation as the law expects the company to help with looking for a new position,which in reality is just lipservice, but no one has been offered a position in Swansea which he has completely failed to take in and any such opportunity would only come about after the person had been made redundant.

If the company had turned around and said everyone has to move to Swansea or you will be out of a job with no redundancy package, then the would be a major issue as that would be unreasonable and lead to legal action against the company.
