Travel insurance question

wen-tom

Hi
I have travel insurance with my halifax ultimate reward current account.
I have a flight booked for next year that Is non refundable and also a weekend in Paris booked for new year.

I have found out today that I am going to be made redundant in March.
This is the 1st time i have had to deal with anything like this.

is this covered by the insurance? My husband has a well paid job but with our debts we will really struggle.

thanks

You need to read your policy. Some insurers will cover a dramatic change in circumstances but certainly not all.

Looks like redundancy is covered.

Go to page 55 then 61/62

Could you try with budgetting the Paris trip.Presumably you will finish with a redundancy payment which might see you through to getting a new job, and dont forget, if youve paid your Ni you will be able to claim JSA

thanks all,
I can probably manage the paris trip as i will still be employed until march but florida will be different as i will need a lot of money for the accomodation and spending money

I can't claim jsa as my husband ears too much and my redundancy will only be around £100! I have only worked for the company for 2 years and i only have an 8 hour contract!

If you have paid NI contributions you can claim contributions based JSA. This has nothing to do with what your husband earns.

i dont pay Ni at the moment as i dont earn enough. i think i have paid once in the last 6 months maybe. how does that work?
