A Better Understanding To Income Protection Insurance

By Jeffrey Allen


The risk of getting an illness and becoming disabled is something that you can prevent but you know that there would still be a chance that it would happen. This could lead you into not being able to work which means you could have a hard time paying for your expenses. To help you with such problem, you might wanna avail an income protection Dublin insurance.

It works this way, if you get an illness or becomes disabled person and it is gonna be for a long period of time you can avail this. That is if you yourself is working full time or self employed and has to leave it due to such happening. And, you currently have any other sources of income rather than your job or business.

That period is called the deferred period. When it is time for you to take out the policy, you get to choose what deferred period would it be, it is gonna be for 4 weeks, perhaps 13, or maybe 26 or 52 weeks. How many weeks did you choose should also be the number of weeks in which you cannot go to work.

However, take note that not all policies is using the deferred period. So, check the company whom you are about to sign up with whether or not they have such. Find out if they offer sick pay as well. If indeed they have, find out how much would it be and for how long is it gonna last. Make sure that you know what kind of policy would you get since there are others who only covers permanently and severely disabled individuals.

People whom would really need to have this are those that are currently self employed which has no other way of getting an income when such crisis will happen. No sick pay is given by the company you work to or only a small amount of money of sick pay is given. You have dependants that only relies on you.

Surely, you are asking right now on how to get covered. You can get this by simply joining a group scheme at your workplace or take out an individual policy yourself. But, if you compare the two, the group scheme is gonna be cheaper. For groups, insurance companies does not really look at the medical information of each individual.

For the cost it would depend on the level of cover that is currently linked to your policy as with its income. Terms of policy and your week period too. Age and other personal information such as your medical history and job is included as well. The more you age the higher the cost it will be.

The amount of money you would need to pay will depend on what type of policy you get. For group schemes, it would be cheaper since the cost is gonna be divided within your group. For an individual policy, you can decide up to how much do you want to get. Take note, that terms and conditions also count.

Your benefits would last until you return to work. When you reach the age of 55 up to 65 depending on the company, the medical officer decides that you already are fit to work, and if you pass away. So, before you decide to get such policy, decide first if going for it is a good decision or not.
