Income Protection
Our income protection can be tailored to include the following options:
- A monthly income that's sufficient to pay your mortgage,
rent or other essential expenditure and keep you afloat financially - The policy can be set to pay out when your employer sick-pay
provisions end - Different levels of cover are available and our advisers can help you
choose a product that gives you peace of mind at an affordable cost
The prospect of long-term ill health can be frightening and stressful, and it is something many people prefer not to think about until they are unfortunate enough to develop a health problem.
When this happens, one of the first things a lot of people worry about is money.
You may be lucky enough to have some short-term sickness provision from your employer,
but what happens if your ill health is prolonged?
If you have no provision from your employer or are self-employed,
how will you pay your bills?
Income protection is designed to support you if you can’t work due to sickness or an injury.
This policy ensures that you continue to receive a regular income until you are able to
work or retire, so you can focus on looking after your health rather than
worrying about your finances.
