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.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
