PROTECTING YOUR INCOME
These plans will have no cash in value at any time and will cease at the end of the term. If premiums are not maintained, then cover will lapse.
Long Term
If you are unable to work due to sickness or disability then income protection insurance will help you pay the bills on a monthly basis up to a certain percentage of your annual income. Once your application has been accepted the policy cannot be cancelled by the insurer which means you have no concerns about the policy being withdrawn if you have health problems in the future. There is no limit regarding the amount of claims you can make on your policy or the length of the claim period.
An Income Protection Insurance Policy can cover you up to retirement age and the premiums can be lowered if you defer the pay-out date if you make a claim.
If you are already receiving sick pay from your employer, you cannot claim the full amount but you may be entitled to a smaller pay-out to top up what you already get. The policy is flexible enough to pay out a reduced amount even if you return to work on a part time basis following a claim.
Short Term
If you are thinking of a less expensive short-term option then Accident, Sickness & Unemployment cover (ASU) may be an option. This type of policy is renewed annually and will pay out for a maximum of 12 to 24 months after receiving your first payment. Although backdated to day 1, you can defer payments to 30, 60 or 90 days to make the policy less expensive. You can claim just once on these policies and the insurer can cancel the insurance when renewal of the policy occurs annually.
Our qualified and Independent Protection Advisor will assess your needs and advise which is the best policy for you.
