What is Income Protection?

Income Protection is an insurance policy created to pay out a regular income if you are unable to work due to an injury, illness or even unemployment.

The pay-out can ensure you are still able to meet your necessary household costs. For example, your mortgage/rent, utilities and to put food on the table, until you can return to work.

You can select between a short-term plan or a long-term plan. Some insurers now offer 1 or 2 year payment terms. As a substitute, you can choose the long-term plan which will pay out until retirement, death or your return to work.

If you cannot afford to be off work for 1 day, you can choose the cover to pay-out from day 1. This gives you the peace of mind that you are protected right away. Cover can also start from 1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and so on. Generally, the longer you can wait for the pay-out, the lower your monthly premiums will be.

Premiums will also depend on your age, health, occupation and how much cover you need. The amount of protection you can have is based on a percentage of your income, which varies from 50% to 70%. Payments are also completely tax-free and if you are employed you can still receive your Statutory Sick Pay at £99.35 per week.

Please note, any pre existing conditions may not be covered but will be assessed on an individual basis. Some exclusions may be reviewable once you have the policy for 12 months.

The construction industry accounts for 2.6 million jobs in the UK. The risk of an injury in the construction industry is much higher due to the nature of the environment so it’s important to have adequate cover in place in the event of an injury or an accident.

If you work within this industry please get in touch today and we will do our best to help get you protected with one of our top-rated insurers.

The driving industry can be considered a high-risk occupation for many. With the likes of driving instructors, taxi drivers, HGV drivers and bus drivers within this category. Due to the nature of the role, constantly being on the road with many risks, or even having an inexperienced driver at the wheel (for driving instructors), the chances of you being unable to work can be higher and the risks of you getting injured can be higher. Here at UK Income Protection, we can assist all of these occupations to get the cover they need. Working with the best 5* Defaqto rated insurers, our team will be on hand to help.

Don’t rely on your employer for full financial support during an unexpected illness or injury. Statutory sick pay of £99.35 per week may not be enough to cover your expenses.
