Income Protection is a type of insurance that pays out if you have an illness or disability that prevents you from working. You will receive payments through a regular income until you can return to work or retire.
Income Protection covers you for many different types of illnesses and disabilities, but the expectation is that you will be able to return back to work eventually. In some cases, you may not return back to work and in this case, your insurance will expire once you reach retirement age. Income Protection can pay out more than once, however, there is a cap on how much you can receive which is based on your salary.
You will also need to provide a deferred period for your policy. This period is the length of time that it will take for your policy to start paying out. At first, you will be required to use your savings, employee sick pay scheme or other means of income. Once the deferred period is over, the policy will start paying out. The shorter your deferred policy, the higher costs your premiums will be.
No two people are the same, there will be differences between most policies that are taken out. As a protection and mortgage advisors in Birmingham, it is our job to recommend the right policy for you and determine what specifications you will need in place for your Income Protection insurance policy.
We’ve also dealt with customers who have never needed to claim on their insurance. At the end of the day, it is more important to have something in place just in case your circumstances change. If you want to find out whether or not Income Protection would be beneficial for you and your personal situation, feel free to contact us for a free initial insurance review in Birmingham.
It is possible to already have Income Protection Insurance in place. A lot of employers offer this as a part of their employee benefits program and therefore won’t need to take out a separate insurance policy. Your employment contract should have the details of any insurance policies your company offers.
If you already have another type of insurance policy, such as Critical Illness, you may not need Income Protection, you could already be covered. However, Critical Illness focus on illnesses and disabilities that will prevent you from working again, so it could still be worth covering short-term illnesses with Income Protection.
People may rather save money on Income Protection Insurance and use their savings instead. If you would rather use your savings, you will need to work out whether you are able to cover your living costs for the amount of time that you are required to have off. What would happen if you had another emergency and needed more time off work? Would you have more savings available to cover you?
Before purchasing a income protection, we recommend speaking with a qualified protection and advisor in Birmingham, such as a mortgage broker in Birmingham. We will assess your personal and financial situation and work with you to find the most appropriate insurance product for your needs.
At Birminghammoneyman, we can offer you a free Insurance review with one of our protection advisors. We can go through your personal and financial situation and see whether Income Protection will be the most suitable option for you. Your lifestyle, age and medical history will be factored into your Insurance review so that we can work out what policy you are looking for.
Income Protection can be costly, as it can pay out numerous times. If you have other Insurances policies in place, it could be beneficial to work out the total costs and what you are covered for.
Upon taking out your policy, make sure that you are aware of what it pays out for and the conditions that come with the policy. Your Protection Advisor in Birmingham will help with this.

I chose this company because sure of the reviews and then after talking to Jason, I felt comfortable. He found me an offer with NatWest but due to the long wait times with BCC, that offer expired. We had to get a new offer. I contacted Jason just before my offer expired. Sent him everything he needed and less than 3 weeks later, I got a new offer. The company is very responsive, I don’t think I’ve had to wait even 24 hours for a response to my emails. Every question answered quickly. Very decent price for the whole service. Once you get the offer through, they are still there every step of the way and everyone I’ve either spoken to or emailed have been extremely helpful. There is no part of my experience that I can say needs any improvement.

Matt has been brilliant, hes explained and walked me through everything making it as easy and as straight forward as possible. Matt has been at the end of the phone, every time I've had questions or just needed some reassurance, I would recommend moneymanuk to anyone who is looking for an independent mortgage adviser xx

Had a great experience with Money Man UK, who kept us informed and updated throughout every stage of the process. They were always transparent and never apposed to exploring all of our options and gave us time to consider them thoroughly. Would highly recommend and very glad we were recommended their services.

Very helpful and informative. As a first time buyer with limited knowledge I was Guided with patience and great knowledge. Mortgage and Insurance was sorted within 2 weeks as painless as possible. Even providing references for shortlist of solicitors and thus saving more time. Best part even after Mortgage deal is done they are still happy to respond to other questions too. For that they are invaluable!

I had a fantastic experience working with Chris as my mortgage advisor. He was incredibly patient, always took the time to explain things clearly, and gave thoughtful advice whenever I needed it. Stacey handled all my paperwork efficiently and kept me updated throughout the process. Thanks to their combined efforts, I received my mortgage offer in less than 7 days! I am really grateful for their support and highly recommend their services.

A very satisfied customer. Charlie Bryson was my mortgage advisor, and I found him to be an incredibly professional, friendly and knowledgeable person. He offered me detailed and in depth advise and recommended a very good deal. My case was then referred to Meghan Robinson, who took care of my application with the lender. Similar to Charlie, she took time to listen to my queries and updated me of the progress of the application. It took roughly 2 weeks for me to get a mortgage offer from the lender. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a mortgage/remortgage.
