So either take the poor option (is UK261 an option due to the earlier flight time) or cancel and go through travel insurance.
Separate tickets = separate contracts, so that is what it is. You get the cancellation compensation whether you travel or not, see the main EC261 thread for details on that, but from your previous post it appears to apply. Note the Azurair case if they try the 50% reduction on it.
