my mother got redundency/outta work welfare entitlments?

Scottf

My mum, got redundency after her workplace closed about two weeks ago,
shes being going into the social welfare to sign on etc and follow proceedure for welfare...
while without a job.....

SHe worked parttime hours in that shop for a good twenty years etc etc all the stamps etc

I think shes losing it a bit, at least I wouldnt blame her becuase prob like usual they seem to be making her jump thru hoops for welfare,

I though Id seek some info here;
I donrt know exactly all the process shes been thru at this stage but she told me, to get welfare
"the man" said you have to be available for and actively seeking FULLTIME work, to receive welfare while outta work-this seems bizarre she only can give up parttime hours for work, which she has for the last twenty plus years-so how come this lad said that, and why wouldnt she be entitled to some sort of welfare, if shes only available for parttime work?

She should just say she is available for full-time work and then if part-time work comes up, she can take it and sign off. There is no reason to worry about that and as someone who has worked for a long time, I don't think they will be that hard on her.

Jobseekers Benefits rules are that she must be looking for full time work.
If she insists that she's only available for part time work then she's disqualified.
There's no way round this.
