Mortgage Payment Guard query

Hi there, not sure if this is the correct forum to post this question on or not. feel free to move it if need be.
We are currently paying out £23 a month on an MPG policy with Halifax and I am now considering stopping this as I have the feeling it wouldn't pay out anyway. It was initially taken out when both DH and I were employed and we used it for a year when DH was unemployed. A few years later he became self-employed and then we moved house. We renewed the MPG for the new house. I then became self-employed for almost two years but chose to stop work last December. Now that I am not working and DH is self-employed is it safe to say they probably won't pay out if he can't work? I am now looking for work so maybe I should hang on to it just in case? What do you think?

    I just changed my mortgage repayment protection from my bank - it was £33 a month and have got it for £10 a month! I used moneysupermarket.com to find the cheapest site.
