Protecting Your Income

How were you to pay the bills if you were too ill to work? Income protection will protect your income to help enable you to pay all your bills, not just your mortgage.

What is income protection?

Income protection is an insurance policy which provides you with a regular tax-free income if you can’t work because of illness or disability. The benefit paid is up to a maximum percentage of your earnings- 60% of gross pre-disability earnings.

Policies pay out after you have been off work for a period of time know as the ‘deferred period’, and will continue to pay out until you can get back to work, until the end of the policy term, until retirement, or until death, whichever is soonest.

You can choose a deferred period from 4 weeks up to one year, depending on how long you may be able to survive on any savings or how long you receive sick pay from your employer.

Please note that for these insurance products terms and conditions apply. This information is a summary only. You will receive a full policy document upon application. This policy will set out the terms, conditions and limitations of the cover provided under your plan.
