What is Income Protection?
Income protection insurance provides a tax-free income for you and your family if you are unable to work due to illness or accidental injury.
It offers you peace of mind that your living costs and financial obligations are taken care of until you are back on your feet.
There are two types of income protection:
- Short term income protection: monthly payments for a set term, for example, 1-, 2- or 5-year benefits schemes.
- Long term income protection: The highest level of protection for your income. It pays a monthly benefit up to retirement if you are unable to return to work.

When should I consider an income protection policy?
If you have any financial commitments, ask yourself how much do you get paid if you are off work? Is it enough to cover ALL of your financial commitments to retirement?
If the answer is no, then you need income protection insurance. You may receive full sick pay for a period of time. But if you are off work long term, what happens when that sick pay finishes?
Another ideal time to consider income protection cover is during major lifestyle changes, including:
Buying a house
Becoming self-employed
The birth of a child
Changing jobs or promotion
Why do I need Income Protection?
Did you know that on average a UK household spends £2,538 a month to cover living expenses, including rent or mortgage?
Unless you have savings or other means of financial support, it can be difficult to keep up with essential outgoings if you are out of work. Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) and company sickness policies often cover you in the short term. But income protection provides the most suitable long-term protection to help you with mortgage or rent payments, household bills and other living costs.
Self-employed individuals don’t have the (short-term) luxury of an employer sickness scheme and they are not entitled to SSP. So, income protection acts as a safety net if you are self-employed, protecting your livelihood and income.
