PPI Pre 1988

I have a MORTGAGE HEALTH INSURANCE POLICY dated 23/11/1981. Can I make a PPI claim for this? I have been told PPI only came into existence in 1988 so what is it that I have? Please can anyone enlighten me!

    You can't complain that something was PPI when it wasn't PPI.

    What are your reasons for wanting to complain about this forty-year-old insurance policy?

    What was wrong with the insurance? How was it mis-sold to you?

    The policy documents will tell you how the policy worked and what cover it provided.

    Is it PPI? (it could be life assurance - the word health could also apply to permanent health insurance which was often used to cover mortgages back then)
    Does it matter if its PPI?

    It was introduced early 80s but didnt become mainstream until late 80s and the banks didnt really start misselling it until early 90s.
