insurance companies to compensate loss of earnings. early years - coronavirus

Put in legislation where insurance companies must pay out for loss of earnings for a forced closure. (high risk / longer isolation evidence shown) for the covid-19 virus. We pay insurance to protect us in these events! we can go from earning a self sustaining wage to less than SSP.

The decision to pay out under a policy is one for individual insurance companies, not the UK Government or Parliament.

If you are unhappy with the decision of your insurer you should complain directly to them.

If you are unsatisfied with how an insurer responds to your complaint you may wish to contact the financial ombudsman: https://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/businesses/complaints-deal/insurance
