What is Income Protection?

Income Protection is designed to cover a proportion of your income in the event that you’re unable to work because of accident, sickness, or involuntary unemployment. Have you ever considered what would happen if you lost your income? How would you pay your mortgage or rent and other household bills? Income Protection provides a monthly benefit so you can cover the basics and pay for the essentials, such as:

  • Mortgage or rent repayments

  • Car loans

  • Important insurance premiums

  • Credit card repayments

  • Utility bills

  • Food bills

  • Fuel costs and more...

Important things you need to know

  • This policy is not linked to any debt repayment facility.

  • You should review and update your insurance cover periodically to ensure that it meets your on-going income requirements.

  • If you stop paying premiums you will not get any money back and all cover ceases.

  • The premium rate is reviewable.

·     It is your responsibility to ensure that this policy is suitable to meet your needs. Therefore it is important that you review the Policy Summary carefully so that you can make an informed decision before you apply. Full terms and conditions can be found in the Policy Document.

This Income Protection Insurance is optional. There are other providers of Short-Term Income Protection and other products designed to protect you against loss of income. For impartial information about insurance, please visit the website at www.moneymadeclear.org.uk
