How can Income Protection help you?
"A qualified Broker can provide you with the advice and assistance to ensure you are properly protected"
Income Protection is an insurance policy designed to pay out a regular income if you are unable to work due to an accident, sickness or unemployment. The pay-out can make sure you are still able to meet your essential household costs. For example, your mortgage/rent, utilities and ensure you can put food on the table until you are able to return to work.
You can choose between a short-term plan and a long-term plan. Some insurers now offer 1 or 2 year payment terms. Alternatively, you can choose the long-term plan which will pay out until retirement, death or your return to work. If you cannot afford to be off work for 1 day, you can choose for the cover to pay out from day 1. This gives you the peace of mind that you are protected straight away.
Cover can also start from 1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and so on. Generally, the longer you can wait for the pay-out, the lower your monthly premiums will be. Premiums will also depend on your age, health, occupation and how much cover you need. The amount of protection you can have is based on a percentage of your income, which varies from 50% to 70%. Payments are also completely tax-free and if you are employed you can still receive your Statutory Sick Pay at £94.25 per week.
