OP, you're stressing needlessly.
Keep paying the mortgage, and everything will be fine.
Make your claim, and while I suspect it's unlikely to be paid, it's not likely to hurt your relationship with the bank either so worth a try.
Then focus on getting hubby rested and refreshed and back on the job hunt asap.
Within a few weeks or months, chances are it'll all work out just fine.
Good luck.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

Just a bit paranoid that the insurance will not only reject the claim due to the probation thing (not in itself a disaster as my salary can cover the mortgage in the short-term anyway / we have a lodger to cover half the mortgage anyway / my dad is quite well-off, so there is zero danger of defaulting), but will also pass on to the mortgage provider (Nationwide) about the probation period and they will use that as an excuse to invalidate the mortgage, although the question was never specifically asked during the application process or on the appliation form...

I don't know why you are even worrying. You have the lodger, you can get some parental help if necessary and you also have the mortgage insurance. The insurance might not pay if you are completely honest about the probation - you might just say that the dismissal was due to cutbacks etc. It's unlikely they'll investigate as they get dozens of claims through every day.0 -
