Income protection

Are you worried about your income if you were injured or sick and unable to work?  Income protection is designed to replace or supplement your income in the event that you are unable to work. 

Insurance can be taken out to cover accidents/sickness and is intended to provide short term cover ranging from 12 to 24 months or up until retirement on long term accident and sickness cover, depending on the policy.  Common reasons for taking out income protection includes protecting mortgage or loan payments whilst ensuring you are able to maintain your lifestyle and can continue to financially support your family and loved ones. 

Let us help you find income protection insurance that is right for you.  Once we establish you are eligible for insurance cover, Howden Life & Health can tailor the policy cover to meet your individual needs.  For further information click here.
