Briefly - the bigger firms used a holiday stamp scheme. For each full week you worked you got a stamp on a card, and when you moved jobs you took this new card to your next employer. If you (like me) were involved in this you will remember.

Anyway, for reasons I know but can't be bothered to write up here - for every stamp you ever got there is now a payout, either when you reach 65 or you can take it earlier (less) if you wish.

If this is ringing any bells check it out as there could be money available. I've done this (checked it out) and there will be a nice little bonus arriving.

is it available for anyone who has passed on, for their immediate family?

Need to provide a link infidel, the only way you might be entitled to money if the company wasn’t paying correct holiday pay based on your weekly earnings.

You saw some funny things on building sites in the 1970's, I remember being on a school bus aged about 13 and we were passing a new housing development in Shotton Colliery, I spotted this lad in his black crombie and dm's pushing a wheelbarrow full of bricks around and realised it was a lad in the year above me at school

It's not to do with that. Firms used this stamp method to pay holiday pay. This extra benefit is an unexpected bonus, but you rely on them to find you, unless you contact them and provide a few details to see if you're eligable.
