Health & Income Protection

Waiver of premium

An option that may keep a policy in force while you are unable to work.

Where included, the insurer pays the premiums after a waiting period if illness or injury stops you working, so protection does not lapse at exactly the moment it is most needed.

It is often overlooked because it adds a small cost to a policy that already feels expensive — but the cover it protects is the point of the arrangement.

Things worth considering

  • A deferred period applies before the waiver starts
  • Definitions of incapacity vary between insurers
  • Usually must be selected at application rather than added later
