Income protection policies are designed to provide tax-free financial support if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to take extended time off work because of illness or injury, to ensure you are financially stable while you focus on what really matters.
Every policy is different and will cover different conditions and levels of health. The cost will depend on your job, age, the percentage of your income that you will need covered and your current health. The length of time it takes to claim your policy can be determined by the amount you pay each month. Once everything is in place, you can claim as often as you need to and your coverage will last either until you start working again, or until retirement.
It is clear that there is a lot to think about when debating if you should get income protection insurance – can you afford to keep up your household if you fall ill and can’t work? What level of cover can you comfortably afford? Will your savings or sick pay adequately provide for your loved ones?
