Income Protection Benefit

Flexible income protection, tailored to your needs. Provided by our trusted partners Legal & General.

Why use Income Protection Benefit?

Income Protection Benefit pays out monthly when you’re too ill or injured to work.

This cover could help you pay the mortgage or rent, bills and everyday expenses.

Legal & General offer a choice of waiting periods, limited benefit periods and an increasing plan to help protect the monthly benefit against inflation.

Note:

  • Limitations and exclusions apply – when considering cover, always check the policy document for details.
  • Income Protection is not a savings or investment product ‐ it will only pay out if a valid claim is made.
