Paymentcare has ended discrimination against gay couples by offering an addition to its payment protection insurance policies that pay out when a partner needs full time care due to illness.
All Paymentcares' policies now offer carer cover and hospitalisation as an extra benefit at no extra cost to couples that live together. Policyholders who are certified by a consultant as being unable to work solely due to AIDS or HIV will be able to claim under their policies.
Our view
The law is rapidly changing with the new law of legalised same sex "marriages" starting soon.
Providers are reacting by offering contracts to suit all.
