OK, if I was made redundant I would get somewhere in the reason of £45,000 far in excess of any debts I had anyway. I also get 12 months sick pay before I drop to half pay for a further 2 years, so I guess for me that these sorts of insurance policies are just expensive add ons and of no value.
Hmmm, you know what mr wilky, i havent thought about things like that
