Professional Saver’s Public Liability Insurance for Welfare Law and Benefits Advisers


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

As a welfare law or benefits adviser, having insurance is crucial to protect you when providing guidance to clients on their entitlements. Our public liability insurance covers you against claims if a client is injured or their property damaged while you are working.

Why Do Welfare Law/Benefits Advisers Need Insurance?

As an adviser helping vulnerable individuals secure crucial income for housing, bills, medical costs and more, errors could severely impact client finances. Just one mistake leading to a declined application that can’t be successfully appealed could leave families without vital support. Insurance protects against the reputational and financial damage such errors cause.

Our specialist public liability policies give complete peace of mind that any claims caused by your advice will be dealt with. Professional Saver offers tailored policies from £55* per year.

FAQs

Welfare Law and Benefits Advisers Insurance FAQs

Advisers are vulnerable to professional indemnity claims because clients rely on their expertise to secure income support. If poor advice leads to rejected applications or reduced entitlements, advisers risk substantial payouts without insurance. Policies cover resulting financial loss claims.

We cover guidance across all major government benefits like:

  • Universal Credit
  • Disability/Attendance Allowance
  • Employment Support Allowance
  • Personal Independence Payments
  • Tax Credits
  • Housing Benefit
  • Appeals/tribunals

Yes. Our professional indemnity insurance will cover any financial loss claims made against a welfare/benefits adviser if their poor or negligent advice during appeals and tribunal stages leads to the client losing a crucial benefit claim they were entitled to.

This protects advisers guiding clients through complicated review processes.

On top of our core public/professional liability protections, we also offer further covers like commercial legal expenses and professional indemnity insurance.
