    You will have 30 days from when they stop payments to ring them and do the renewal.

    If you miss the 30 days - you can still get it renewed (up to 31 Jan 2014) for good cause - sounds like you have good cause with your FIL. That said, they don't always give it and if refused there isn't much you can do about it. So best to renew within 30 days of the claim stopping if you can't get through now. Sorry to hear about your FIL.
