What is income protection?
Income protection provides you with a regular income, which is paid out if you cannot work due to an illness or injury. It is meant to replace some of your earned income if you can no longer earn an income yourself - making sure that you can still enjoy a comfortable standard of living.
You can take out income protection if you are in full-time work or are self-employed and earn an income. It protects you only in these circumstances – it will not be paid if you become unemployed.
This plan does not provide any protection against unemployment.
