No - if you’re unable to go to work due to needing to self-isolate, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to make a claim on your income protection policy.
This is because self-isolation doesn’t meet the definition of incapacity listed within your policy.
Incapacity refers to the inability to do something, in the case of income protection this refers to the inability to work due to accident or sickness.
If you’re isolating and are asymptomatic, this won’t make you too ill to work and therefore a claim won’t be successful.
If you develop symptoms and ultimately test positive for Coronavirus during your isolation period and become too ill to work as a result, then you may be able to make a claim.
This will only be possible for those with existing policies (e.g. those that were taken out before the pandemic and before any exclusions and restrictions were introduced) or newer policies that don’t contain Coronavirus exclusions.
