Income Protection

If you’re unable to work and your income is affected, then you need peace of mind that you can pay any monthly financial commitments like the mortgage, bills and life expenses you may have. This is even more important when you have a partner/spouse or family.

We can guide you through the process, letting you choose policies to match your individual needs, budget and circumstances.

Unemployment

I want peace of mind I can pay the bills if I lose my job.

Accident & Sickness

I want peace of mind I can pay the bills if I have an accident or get sick.

Accident & Sickness Cover

Paying the bills is tricky at the best of times, but accidents, sickness or unemployment can have grave financial consequences without the right insurance to protect against it.

If you can’t work for as little as 30 days due to accident or sickness, income insurance can provide a regular monthly payment for 1 or 2 years, with the option of back to day one cover.

In such volatile times, it’s a good idea for both the employed and self-employed to have a policy that offers financial protection for 12 or 24 months.

Some Questions?

You could receive up to

£2,000 a month
65 percent of gross monthly income

Depending on how much you pay for your policy, you could receive up to £2,000 a month or 65 percent of gross, whichever is lower. Gross monthly income is the average monthly salary before tax, including any commission and/or bonus payments received (if in full-time employment), or the monthly average of your income as declared on the self- assessment return for the previous tax year as confirmed by HMRC (if self-employed).

You can choose from a number of different ‘qualification period’ options. This is the number of consecutive days from being unable to work until the monthly benefit begins:

Back to day 1
30 day excess
60 day excess
90 day excess
180 day excess

We have access to policies to suit all budgets, but the decision is usually based on your outgoings. It’s sensible to make sure that main outgoings are protected.

If you choose unemployment cover as part of your policy and you are made redundant, you will be entitled to free back-to-work support.

The government do offer assistance, but the amount can be alarmingly low and won’t last long.

For example, a single person over 25 is only entitled to £74.70 of Jobseeker’s Allowance each week, the standard rate for statutory sick pay is just £96.35 a week (paid to a maximum of 28 weeks) and Employment and Support Allowance for a single person over 25 suffering illness or disability starts at just £73.10 a week.

If you’re taking out a new mortgage or re-mortgage, you are unlikely to receive any assistance with your mortgage repayments for the first 9 months of your claim. Moreover, the payment of state benefit only applies to mortgage interest payments up to a maximum loan of £200,000, or on a loan of £100,000 if receiving pension credit. It does not cover capital repayments, or any other related costs such as the premiums paid on a life insurance policy or savings plan linked to a mortgage.*
