Income Protection Insurance will help you to maintain your lifestyle if something unexpected happens such as illness, and accident or unemployment.

Suppose your income stopped. What would you do? How would you meet the bills that won't stop coming? Would it be worth considering having a cushion in place in the form of income protection insurance?

Income protection insurance allows you to specify up to around 65% of your income to be paid to you if you are unable to earn. If your employers are contracted to pay you for so long, then you can stipulate a deferment period after which time the premium benefits are paid to you. The longer the deferment period, the cheaper the premium. This can be a good way of protecting your income should a catastrophic situation arise.

Policies can be underwritten to pay for a limited period, or even until your retirement date. Remember to check carefully what you are entitled to at the providers' web sites, and what other limitations there may be.
