    His employer/colleagues should have some recomendations
  • This close to deploying, consider the MOD's PAX (Personal Accident) and SLI (Service Life Insurance) schemes - info should be in the deployment pack, and payments taken from pay. Any other insurers will want to up premiums and sort loads of paperwork.

    PAX only available to current/former service personnel and SLI only available to current regulars/TA.

    Just been sorting this out for my hubby who is also civvie contractor. Thankfully he gets some provided by his company but to top up we're being quoted between 2K - 7K per year depending on what insurance we want!
    If you google personal life insurance for hostile environment workers you will get a couple of companies who can help but do check what insurance the company offer to save some money.
    Good luck with it, its a pain but a necessary evil! :)
