Frequently Asked Questions About Financial Protection

What is income protection insurance?

Income protection insurance is a financial product designed to provide a source of income replacement if an individual becomes unable to work due to illness or injury. It offers a financial safety net by paying out a regular income, usually a percentage of the policyholder’s salary, during the period of incapacity. This coverage helps individuals maintain their standard of living and meet financial obligations when faced with unexpected health challenges.

Can borrowers get 100% income protection?

In the UK, it is generally not possible to obtain 100% income protection. Income protection insurance typically covers about half to two-thirds of your earnings before tax from your normal job, and this is because some money will be taken off for the state benefits you can claim, and the income you get from the policy is tax-free. The specific amount you can claim and the waiting period before the payments start can vary depending on the policy and the insurer. Therefore, it’s important to carefully review the terms and conditions of any income protection insurance policy to understand the coverage it provides.

What is critical illness cover?

Critical illness cover is a type of insurance that pays out a lump sum if the policyholder is diagnosed with a specified critical illness or medical condition. The covered illnesses often include severe conditions such as cancer, heart attack, stroke, or major organ transplant. The lump sum can be used to cover medical expenses, lifestyle adjustments, or other financial needs during the challenging period of dealing with a critical illness.

Is it worth getting life insurance?

Whether life insurance is worth it depends on an individual’s financial situation, responsibilities, and goals. Life insurance provides a payout to beneficiaries upon the policyholder’s death, offering financial security and assistance with funeral expenses, debts, or ongoing living costs. It is particularly beneficial for those with dependents or significant financial obligations, ensuring that loved ones are financially supported in the event of the policyholder’s passing.

Who is eligible for life insurance?

In the UK, individuals aged 18 to 85 who are UK residents and have a legal right to live there are generally eligible for life insurance. However, eligibility criteria and restrictions may apply, and some providers may accept customers from age 16, subject to conditions. The amount of cover and the premium cost will depend on factors such as the individual’s age, health, lifestyle, and the type of policy chosen. Some insurers may require medical exams or ask health and lifestyle-related questions to determine the level of risk and the premium cost. While some policies, such as over-50s plans, offer guaranteed acceptance without requiring medical information, the coverage amount may be capped, and the premiums may be higher. It’s important to carefully review the terms and conditions of any life insurance policy to understand the coverage it provides and ensure it meets the individual’s needs.

What’s the difference between life insurance and critical illness coverage?

Life insurance provides a payout upon death, while critical illness cover pays out if you’re diagnosed with a specific illness, offering financial support during recovery.

Is income protection the same as mortgage protection?

No, income protection provides financial support if you’re unable to work, while mortgage protection specifically covers mortgage payments if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury.

Do I need to undergo a medical exam to qualify?

Some policies may require medical screening, while others may only need a health declaration. This depends on the coverage type and amount.

How long do income protection payments last?

Income protection payments can last until you return to work, retire, or what your policy terms specify, which typically range from 1 to 5 years.

Can I customise my coverage to fit my needs?

Yes, most protection products offer customisable options, allowing you to choose coverage amounts, payment terms, and beneficiaries.
