If you found yourself unable to work due to an accident or illness, could you afford to pay your bills?
Without your income would your family be able to remain in the family home?
With income protection in place you could receive up to 70% of your income each month until you are able to get back to work.
Most people associate protecting your income or health with a mortgage, however, protecting yourself when you rent is just as important. If you are unable to work you will still need to maintain rental payments, council tax, utilities and your general living costs.
Income protection will allow you to maintain your standard of living and most importantly your independence as opposed to having to turn to family or friends for support.
