MSE News: London and UK riots: your financial rights

Skoorb

A Riot Damages Act claim form and claim instructions have gone up at http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Nl1/Newsroom/DG_198958.

There's also a link to business advice there, half way down the page (http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/detail?itemId=1096737225&type=ONEOFFPAGE).

Finally, the Association of British Insurers has published some clear advice at http://www.abi.org.uk/Information/Riots/Riots_August_2011.aspx.

It's worth giving all of these a good read.

If you mean from your own insurance, then that depends on what you insured yourself for. If you mean from your local police authority under the Riot Damages Act, there is no limit (well, specifically it's what is "just").
