If are giving thought to the possibility that you could become a victim of redundancy or are worrying how you would manage without your income if you were to suffer from an accident or illness then you need accident sickness unemployment insurance. However there are three types to choose from and this would be your first decision when looking for protection with a standalone provider.
Whether you need loan, mortgage or income payment protection you could choose the amount of your repayments or income to cover. This amount would be limited by the provider and is the amount you get back as a payment each month, tax free. You would have to stand to so many days before being able to claim and generally this is between the 30th and the 90th days with some independent providers offering to date back your income to the first date of your unemployment or incapacity. Payments continue for a fixed period of time before ceasing so this would need to be checked before you take out the protection. However usually providers will offer you 12 or 24 months of payments which can be more than enough time for you to have found work or for you to have been able to fully recover and be back at work.
While unemployment and incapacity protection can be taken together you might not want to cover both events and with an independent provider it is possible to chose what you wish to protect agains. If you only need redundancy cover then this can be taken as a standalone policy. If incapacity protection would suit you better this could be taken as a standalone policy. This would help to determine how much you payout in premiums along with age and the amount of your repayment or income you want protection for.
Mortgage payment protection taken as accident sickness unemployment insurance would provide a substantial amount of money towards keeping up with your monthly mortgage repayments. Being able to maintain your mortgage repayments month after month would be imperative as lenders will take you to court to seek repossession of your home if you cannot catch up. Missed loan repayments can also be a huge cause for concern. Even more so if you have taken out a secured loan on your home as again you could be looking at lender repossession. Unsecured missed payments could lead to you losing possessions in the home if a judge sends in bailiffs. Loan insurance can help you to maintain your repayments which ease the worry of these threats. There is also all the other essential repayments you have to make each month to consider and income payment protection would provide an income which you would be able to use as you wanted. You could continue to meet your utility bill demands and your rent. Life could become so much easier with protection behind you and it can be a far more viable option than risking claiming State benefits or using savings.
