Income protection Insurance can help you!

Having income protection allows you to have peace of mind that if you are at risk of losing your job you will not be losing your complete income. You will lose the full income from your employer but your income protection insurance will payout and you will receive monthly or weekly payouts which will be on average about 65% of your income.

Income protection insurance can help you protect yourself for if you were to unfortunately be made redundant due to an accident or illness. You don't choose to be unable to work and so why should you be punished for something out of your control? You aren't actually being punished but it can feel like that, we understand that businesses need a complete working workforce so that the business can keep running but we also need an income so that we can keep our home running and so we can look after ourselves and our family. Being faced with no income can lead to people having to sell their treasured possessions, so as to generate some income to enable them to meet their financial commitments.

When you take out income protection insurance you will receive a definition which will determine when your insurance will give you a payout. If you receive an own occupation definition you will receive a payout from your income protection policy when you are unable to carry out your own job. If you receive a suited occupation definition, you will receive a payout from your income protection plan when you are unable to carry out your own job or a job similar to your own. If you receive an any occupation definition, you will receive a payout from your income protection policy when you are unable to carry out any form of paid work. The best definition you can receive for your income protection policy is the any occupation definition as it is much more easier to qualify for a payout from your income protection policy.

You have to currently be in employment to qualify for taking out an income protection insurance policy.

When you claim on your income protection insurance policy and start to receive payouts you do not need to pay your premiums for the duration of the payouts but when you are back into work or reach the end of the payout period you will be required to start paying your insurance premiums again.
