Income Protection – Paying Your Bills Should You Fall Ill
Income Protection is all about security. Should you suddenly fall ill and be unable to work, you would receive a fixed monthly amount to replace your normal income, allowing you to continue to pay your day-to-day living costs and provide for your family.
How Does Income Protection Work?
- You find yourself unable to work due to an illness. You could receive a fixed monthly amount after a ‘deferred’ waiting period – this can be anything from 1 day to 1 year. The longer the ‘deferred period’ you choose, the cheaper your policy will be.
- You’re not sure how much money you could receive. You would be insured for a maximum level of benefit, usually based on a percentage of your salary. This cost will depend on many factors including your age, occupation and the level of benefit you need.
- You are receiving other benefits for your sickness. If you are receiving any state benefits, this could be taken into account – we will advise.
