Frequently asked questions about this type of policy

What is Income Protection and do I need it?

Income protection insurance can provide an income if you're unable to work through sickness or injury - covering your essential outgoings.

Whilst you may receive sick pay from your employer, not everybody does and some people overestimate how much they get. Income Protection can provide that financial safety net.

How much is covered and how long am I covered for?

You can choose a policy built around your own circumstances. You can cover as much of your income as possible or just protect your mortgage or rent repayments. It's up to you how long your plan stays in place and how long each claim pays out for. Let our advisers guide you through your options.

I'm self-employed or not in full-time employment - can I get cover?

Of course. Income Protection Insurance is available to self-employed, primary carers, part-time workers, contractors and more; our expert advisers can provide you with a tailored quote.

Even if you have some difficulty proving your income, there are plenty of options available.

I've heard bad things about PPI. How is income protection different?

Income protection insurance works very differently to PPI cover; it provides for more extensive coverage if you get injured or are too ill to work . The main issue with PPI was the way it was sold, rather than the product itself, and we have advisers that will take care to make sure everything is explained to you.
