Not sure if you are in the UK but if you are then having had a heart attack would possibly prevent you from claiming unemployment benefit, now job seekers allowance as you would be eligible for Employment Support Allowance, probably in the support group category. As you are still under medical supervision, you would probably be placed in this group which attracts a higher level of payment in support rather than in the back to work group. You would not have to seek work or carry out job search tasks but would be offered support if you felt that maybe some voluntary work would aid your recovery, but it is not compulsory. Medical assessments are carried out to place you in this group and you can appeal against a negative decision but be sure to get help from Citizens Advice Bureau (free) as they are highly skilled at helping people through the system.
If your employer had to let you go as a result of your absence from work or not being able to do the job you held prior to the heart attack, it may be worth checking with an on-line free solicitor to see if you may have a case for constructive dismissal etc. costs nothing to find out.
The main thing is to concentrate on recovering so best wishes.

In the US, since you left unvoluntarily, your company should sign off on unemployment--if they are large enough to be contributors (some companies are not). If you claimed FMLA, you had 240 hours where your job would have been held for you. Depending on the circumstances--if you were able to return with the same health and mental capabilities to do the job--you may or may not have a case.

Can you get unemployment benefits if you receive social security benefits in Oklahoma?
If you are collecting unemployment in the state of Oklahoma you will most likely not be able to collect Social Security benefits because Social Security will count your unemployment as unearned income and not give you any deductions. Without the deductions from income your total income will almost always be too high to receive Social Security Benefits. So, you have to choose. If you are eligible for unemployment then you should take it and forget about your social security income because the unemployment will pay more monthly and while on unemployment in the state of Oklahoma you can receive Medical insurance through O-EPIC / Insure Oklahoma for a very small monthly fee (around $50 a month) The insurance offers $10 Dr visits and $20-$30 co pays on ALL other services ( for example a MRI under O-EPIC would have a flat co pay of $25 with no other bill to come in the mail) You can receive other DHS benefits while on Unemployment in OK such as Medicaid for your children and Food Stamps as long as the total house hold income does not exceed the income guidelines for your family size. I have first hand knowledge of this ....... I was laid off and went on unemployment, I reported my unemployment income to Social Security because I have a disabled child who had received benefits in the past but had lost them only because my income became too high to qualify. I was told that because the unemployment was UNEARNED income it would be calculated differently, leaving my income too high to receive benefits despite the fact that the same amount of EARNED income would qualify him for maximum benefits. I argued that the unemployment was a benefit for working in the passed and should be counted the same as earned income seeings how I earned the unemployment by having a job and had to pay taxes on the unemployment ..... I lost he appeal and my son's SS Benefits. Hope this helps.
