Is Income Protection Right For Me?

How Much Cover Do I Need?

The level of income protection cover you choose will depend on your needs. Things you'll need to consider:

  • Do you have mortgage payments to cover?

     
  • How about credit card bills or hire purchases?

     
  • Is your income covering all your regular spending such as groceries, electricity bill etc or does your spouse or partner work and contribute too?
