What you get from salary protection

Up to 70% of your Declared Earnings*

Salary protection gives you a replacement income of up to 70% of your Declared Earnings* – if you can't work due to illness or injury and you pass the scheme deferred period.

*Up to 70% of your Declared Earnings less any other income to which you may be entitled e.g. State Illness Benefit. Declared Earnings are subject to the maximum of €257,000 for a self-employed member. Terms and conditions apply; see the scheme information section below for further information.

Life Cover Benefit

The scheme provides a lump sum of typically twice your declared earnings if you die. This can help to pay bills and unexpected costs, at an already difficult time.

Specified Illness Benefit

You will receive a once-off lump sum if you are diagnosed with one of the specified illnesses listed in the policy document.

Pension Premium Protection Benefit

A further 10% of your Declared Earnings will be paid into a separate Personal Retirement Savings Account if you claim from the scheme for over two years.

Tax relief

You're entitled to tax relief on the majority of your scheme membership cost.
