From 13 March 2020 all our plans with a 1 week deferment period have been written with a “coronavirus exclusion” and from the 17 March 2020 plans with a 4 and 8 week deferment period were also written with a “coronavirus exclusion” so any claim caused by COVID-19 would be excluded.
We’re unable to accept new applications if your client is currently furloughed or are using the self-employed scheme.
