Income Protection Insurance is designed to pay out a monthly benefit if you are unable to work due to illness or accident.

The applicant can decide along with the help of their Advisor how much cover to take out. Also how long they are prepared to wait before they are entitled to put a claim in.

Income Protection insurance can be expensive compared to life cover. As you are far more likely to be unable to work due to illness than die.

The monthly benefit continues to be paid out until you return to work unless you have selected the “Budget” version of the policy. This typically only pays out for 24 months but is much cheaper.

The big advantage of Income Protection Insurance is that unlike Critical Illness Cover it pays out for whatever is preventing you from working. Unlike Critical Illness which is just a list of specified illnesses.

This type of policy is very popular amongst the self-employed and also employed applicants who do not benefit from generous Employer sick pay schemes.
