hi, i am being made redundant end of this month. I will be getting 13 months pay as a redundancy payment, and i plan to look for another job after having a few weeks off. I am disabled, so will be limited to the jobs i can do (for example i won't be able to work in a job that involves a lot of standing or walking) so im not sure how long it will be before i get a job
i have never not had a job before. Do i need to sign on?

I think gov.uk website, alternatively google Job Seekers Allowance - form can take up to 1/2hr to complete, depending on their speed for loading their infernal pages.
They will thend send you a text within 48 hours giving you an appointment date and time.
Take proof of id and address with you.

Hi bednobs, my sister was in the same position as you (redundancy, but didn't want to look for a job straight away). She signed on for her NI contributions, but then found out that she was expected to look for another job immediately. She had to show evidence of searching and applying for jobs, for a certain amount of hours each day. She only worked part time for the MOD (before voluntary redundancy) but was spending more hours looking for work than she had actually worked in her job. She is now an assistant practice manager (at my doctor's surgery, ironically), but does regret signing on straight away. Things may have changed in the three years since she was took redundancy, and obviously her circumstances are slightly different to yours.
