People urged to check swine flu covered by Payment Protection Insurance
Tue, 05 May 2009
With the World Health Organisation (WHO) having raised the swine flu pandemic alert to level 5, payment protection insurance (PPI) policyholders are being asked to consider whether they are covered for swine flu.

With PPI, a policyholder is covered for paying bills for up to a year if the policyholder temporarily loses their income due to sickness, an accident or unemployment . Medical experts say that anyone contracting the virus can expect to recover in around a week but for some, the recovery could be a lot longer. As some sufferers may need more time off work, they could perhaps be moved onto Statutory Sick Pay and this could lead to financial difficulties.

PPI policyholders are therefore being urged to check that their insurer will pay their bills if needed as a result of contracting the virus. Standalone PPI provider British Insurance have confirmed that they will honour claims from swine flu sufferers.
