- 9TH DECEMBER 2007
Say you became unable to work after suffering from illness, an accident or unemployment which was no fault of your own, then how would you cope financially? Unless you had a lot of savings somewhere, you would be left struggling, with a loss of income, to carry on living your current lifestyle and servicing your debts. However, the solution is income protection insurance. If it is suitable for your circumstances then it could be the lifeline you need.
Income protection insurance can be bought to ensure that you would have a income, free of tax, once you had been out of work for anywhere between the 30th and 90th day after the event and would then continue for between 12 and 24 months. The downside is that there are exclusions which could mean that it might not be suitable for you, so you do have to check that it would be suitable for yours before taking the cover. Typical exclusions include being of retirement age, suffering an illness which is ongoing and only being in part time employment but others can be dependant on the provider.
Premiums for income protection insurance can vary greatly as can the quality of the product so it is imperative that you do shop around for the cover. Independent payment protection provider British Insurance offers the cheapest policies while at the same time being of high quality and as they are ethical they give the vital information needed to make an informed decision regarding suitability.
