Mortgage Protection - limited Initial Exclusion Period

I am looking to protect my mortgage repayments for unemployment only.
All policies I have acome accross have an initail Exclusion Period - time between taking the policy out and being made redundent - of at least 60 days (most are 90 or 120).
If I take out the policy tomorrow and get chopped 59 days later there is no payout, which I want to avoid (waste of money).
Does anyone know of a short Initial Exclusion Period?
Thanks a lot

    That is highly unlikely to happen unless you know its going to happen in which case you wouldnt be covered anyway.
