Employment Law... advice please?

my boss sacked me. I asked for my money. He refused. He now says ok to the money, but he wants to counter claim for breach of contract. the contract, (non existent in this term of employment) says I must sign claim forms for him to receive funding from DWP. At the time of my dismissal, he informed me that I was not funded by DWP any longer. can he insist on my signing the forms? I can't prove that he said I was no longer funded by DWP, he is also lying about other matters. Please help. cannot get Legal Aid for employment law, and other solicitors appear reluctant to fight one of their own.

I said DWP which stands for Department of Works and Pensions. I'm in the uk.

Even the Citizens' Advice Bureau only offered general advice and nothing of any legal standing. I guess I'll have to sign his forms, and swallow my integrity if I want to get the money to which I am entitled.

if you also contact your local unemployment office - they should be able to give you some information

call the labor board and get a lawyer. most lawyers don't charge you anything unless you win your case, then they take a percentage of what you win. I won 15,000.00 on a stress charge against my employer with no physical evidence, just my testimony. Alot of business are willing to settle once you get to court to avoid bad business reputations.

You said DWP, meaning the LA Department of Water and Power. You should file a claim with the Employment Development Department.
