cover, here is a brief description of insurance definitions typically
used within the insurance industries.

benefits.
National Insurance Contributions
An additional form of "tax" paid by most employers, employees and
self-employed people. The money collected is (broadly) used to pay for
social security benefits. Class 1 Contributions are paid by employers
and by employees with earnings above the lower limit. Class 2
Contributions are paid by the self-employed at a weekly flat rate. Class

enough to require Class 1 or Class 2 contributions to be made. Class 4
Contributions are paid by the self-employed.

destroyed is replaced by the equivalent new item without deduction for
age or wear and tear of the old item and regardless of price inflation.

as premiums are paid. The insurer cannot make changes to or revoke the
insurance during this time.
