Made redundant
Mark is forty, an operations manager in Sheffield with fifteen years at the same firm, a mortgage and savings he has always thought of as enough.
In July his division closes, it takes nine months to find work, and the job he takes pays less for the rest of his career.
Only the means-tested benefit is modelled here, and his savings disqualify him from it; the contributory one his National Insurance record bought is not modelled at all.
