Q: I am currently self employed but would be interested in taking out unemployment insurance cover - could you please tell me what other documentation I would need to provide you with?
A: To apply for a unemployment insurance policy you would need to go online to www.britishinsurance.com.
If you are self-employed then you are able to have cover, however, certain restrictions apply to your ability to claim on the unemployment part of the payment protection insurance policy.
The payment protection insurance policy wording states - ” If You are Self-Employed and You are making an Unemployment claim, You must provide proof that:
You have involuntarily ceased trading and declared this to HM Revenue & Customs. You will be required to supply a copy of this notification to Us”
Full policy wording and a quick quote facility are available online. If we can be of further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us again either by email or on 08450 175 178
