A LEAFLET to let people know about the benefits they are entitled to after redundancy has been put together.
The welfare rights service at Durham County Council has come up with the Benefits After Redundancy leaflet to help people who have lost their job, and is encouraging people who have been made redundant to get in touch.
Chris Graham, the county council's principal welfare rights officer, said: "People who have been made redundant this year may be worried about money in the run up to Christmas.
"They may have found another job but need to know about 'in work' benefits and we'd encourage them to get in touch with us."
