Everything You Need To Know About Income Protection Insurance

By Jeffrey Allen


No matter how much you took care of your self, there is still the risk of you having an illness or an event which would lead you to becoming a disabled person. Income protection Dublin is an insurance which pays out a regular cash payment in replacement to your lost income for events. This is if you cannot pay it due to a medium to long term illness or disability.

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.

Such situation is called the deferred period. When you could use your policy, you can choose from the different deferred period present, which is four, thirteen, twenty six, and fifty two weeks. How long would you not be able to work must also be how long the deferred period is gonna be.

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.

Cost depends upon many situations. The level of cover linked to the policy, terms and policies, and the deferred period. Your age, job, and medical history records varies as well. It is wise to get this while you are still young because the higher your age is gonna get the most costly it becomes.

How much is it gonna be. When in a group scheme, you only get to have a proportion of earnings which is stated in your group policy, that may include your sick pay. For individual, you get to set the amount you wanted whenever you wanted to take it out. Check out your terms and conditions as it would tell you how much can you claim.

This benefits will end when you return to work. The moment you turn 55 years old and beyond. If the medical officer thinks that you are fit to work. If you die of course. Do not jump into conclusions right away and decide first whether or not getting such policy is the best thing for you.
