Normal policy is from 30 upto 90 days before you can make a claim. A lot of companies are only offering protection with new mortgages being taken out. However, the wife says she has seen advertisements in The Sun newspaper where the Halifax and The Post Office have been offering protection policies. I would try www.gocompare.com for price comparison because I reckon you will be paying over the odds for this type of cover in the present climate though. Best of luck with your job. {just checked www.moneysupermarket.com/insurance they do it on there}
I am a senior Financial Consultant that deals with mortgages and Protection Insurance.
Most policies normally have a 30-60 day deferred period that you cannot claim within.
They can also have another clause that if the policy is taken out to protect an existing mortgage (rather than a new one) they may stipulate that you cannot claim for the first 60-120 days after the policy has been taken out.
You must also not know of any pending unemployment. I know this sounds obvious but they can write to your employer and confirm these details. If it is just rumours on the shop floor ect, then that is normally fine.
crap times ahead for lots - hope your job stays safe
