What is Income Protection?

Income Protection insurance allows you to cover up to 65% of your income, providing a tax-free payment to help financially support you, if you are unable to work due to illness or accidental injury.

It gives you peace of mind, knowing you will still have some money coming in to help pay the bills while you recover.

There are two types of income protection:

  • Short Term Income Protection: will pay you a benefit should you become unable to work due to illness or injury, and has a maximum claims period, usually for one or two years at a time.
  • Long Term Income Protection: will pay you a benefit should you become unable to work due to illness or injury but, unlike short term plans, can pay benefits right up to retirement.

How it works

We base our advice on your specific circumstances and requirements, drawing on our years of protection insurance experience, to make the process of arranging protection insurance through us as simple as possible. To be able to give you advice, we will gain an understanding of;

  • You and your family
  • Health and lifestyle
  • Employment and income
  • Monthly commitments

When should I consider an income protection policy?

If you have any financial commitments, ask yourself these 2 questions…

“How much do you get paid if I am off work? Is it enough to cover my financial commitments to retirement?”

If the answer is no, then income protection insurance could be the answer to covering your financial risk gap. Even if you receive sick pay, this is likely to stop at some point.

Having an income protection policy that starts when your income stops, will mean you are aren’t leaving yourself financially vulnerable, even if you were unable to work again for the long-term.

Another ideal time to consider your income protection needs is a major lifestyle change, for example…

When might Income Protection insurance be right for you?

Following a review of the monthly out-goings of a family of 4 in the East of England, UK, it cost just over £2,500 a month to cover common living expenses, including mortgage payments?

Unless you have savings or other means of financial support, it can be difficult to keep up with essential outgoings if you are unable to work. Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) and company sickness policies could cover you in the short term, but income protection provides long-term financial support to help you with mortgage/rent payments, household bills and other living costs.

Self-employed people don’t have the (short-term) luxury of an employer sick pay scheme, and they are not entitled to SSP. So, if you’re self-employed, income protection can act as a financial safety net, aiming to protect your livelihood and income.
