Helps keep your finances healthy if you can't work because of illness or injury
Income protection is designed to provide you with a replacement income of up to 75% of salary* if you’re ill or injured, and can’t work. It helps give financial security and peace of mind, so you can focus on getting better.
Income protection pays a replacement income of up to 75% of your annual salary* – if you can't work due to illness or injury, and your sick pay has reduced to half pay or ceased altogether.
*Up to 75% less any other income to which you may be entitled e.g. half pay, Ill Health Early Retirement Pension, Temporary Rehabilitation Remuneration, State Illness Benefit. Please note, some plans have a lower benefit amount. You can claim salary protection when you have used up your employer’s sick leave entitlements and passed the scheme ‘deferred period’. Simply put, that’s the time that must pass before benefit is paid.
Some of our income protection plans provide a lump sum of twice your annual salary to your loved ones in the event of your death. This can help pay bills, mortgage or funeral costs – providing relief at a difficult time.
Where this benefit is included in the plan you receive a single lump sum if you are diagnosed with a specified illness listed in your policy.
You're entitled to full tax relief on your disability benefit premium.

To be eligible to claim from income/salary protection, you must meet the definition of disablement as defined in the policy document. Other terms, conditions and exclusions apply.
