Hi ks8 and welcome to the forum
So sorry to hear that you are losing your job. Redundacy money is paid to you as compensation for loss of office, and therefore is not deemed to be a windfall as you need it to replace your income until you find another job.
If you do manage to find another job in the meantime, and do not need to rely on all of the money, then the balance is deemed to be a windfall, so long as your new salary is equal to the old one.
