Income protection insurance is a valuable financial safety net designed to provide a source of income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury. Unlike other types of insurance that pay out a lump sum, income protection offers regular payments, typically a percentage of your salary, to replace lost income during a period of incapacity.
​
This insurance ensures that you can continue to meet your financial obligations, including mortgage or rent payments, household bills, and everyday living expenses, even if you are unable to work temporarily or long term. Income protection policies typically cover a wide range of illnesses, injuries, and disabilities, providing comprehensive protection against unexpected health challenges.
One of the key benefits of income protection insurance is its flexibility, allowing you to tailor your policy to suit your individual needs and circumstances. You can choose the waiting period, or deferment period, before the policy starts paying out, as well as the length of the benefit payment period and the level of coverage you require.
