Health & Income Protection

Income protection

Regular replacement income when illness or injury prevents you working.

Benefit usually starts after a chosen deferred period — commonly four, thirteen or twenty-six weeks — and may continue until you return to work, the policy term ends, or you reach a stated age.

The longer the deferred period you accept, the lower the premium tends to be, so the sensible starting point is how long your savings and any employer support would realistically last.

Things worth considering

  • Benefit is normally capped at a proportion of earnings
  • Own-occupation and any-occupation definitions differ significantly
  • Short-term and long-term policies behave very differently at claim
