make all income protection policies payout for 2 week isolation, covid-19.
make insurance compnays pay income protection from day one of isolation. Including, if its only symptoms of a family member not just the policy holder.
To protect the self employed who did take out income protection and allow that whole family to do the right thing. As if there is no money coming in the self employed worker cannot isolate for the sake of the family.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
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: www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/businesses/complaints-deal/insurance
