Mortgage Insurance / Redundacy

Options
Hi
I'm looking for some help/advice. I've been told I at risk of being made Redundant and my mortgage insurance policy with First Call Group advise that they would pay up to 12 months if I was made redundant via compulsory redundancy. Would the policy still pay out if I went on to study in that year or do I have to actively look for new employment?
Thanks in advance.

    I'd bet you would need to be looking for a job and signing on for JSA

    Nothing to stop you studying in your own time though, providing you'd be prepared to give it up if you found a suitable job

    For a year you'd probably avoid having to go to job clubs or workfare which do waste a lot of time

    You need to sign on as unemployed and be actively looking for work. The insurers frequently check on this by asking to see letters and responses.
