Frequently asked questions

What counts as a dependant?

Usually spouse or civil partner, plus children under 18 (or 21–23 if in full-time education). Some policies include partners regardless of marriage status.

Can I add a dependant mid-policy?

Some policies allow it for marriage, birth, or adoption without penalty — check the schedule. Otherwise dependants must be listed at policy start.
