    Unemployment Insurance

    Anyone ever had a policy which actually paid out for contractors?

    Was also looking at accident and sickness insurance - Can you say that you have a bad back or painful fingers to get out of working?

    I use Liverpool Victoria for that purpose, pays out after 3 months if something should happen that prevents me from supporting my family.

    Not cheap but then neither was it full of small print looking to catch me out, so I reached for my wallet.

      Does that cover when you are not working / made redundant from your company?

        Goodness no.

        Only in the event of illness.

          Yes, it's called my savings account.
