What would you do if you were unable to work due to an accident or sickness? How would you pay your bills and your mortgage?
Income Protection is an insurance policy designed to protect your income in the event of an accident or sickness. The sum assured is the income you need per month to pay your bills and cover your outgoings. If you cannot work due to accident or sickness you would receive enough benefit to pay your mortgage, bills and other protected outgoings.
You may receive sick pay, but most employers will only cover you for a certain amount of time, this ranges between employers and can be a few days to a few years. With income protection you can choose when you want the cover to start, ensuring that you have adequate protection once your sick pay runs out.
In addition income protection doesn’t need to be expensive, as there are ways of tailoring the policy to reduce the cost, and make it affordable.
