Frequently Asked Questions
What is protection insurance?
Protection insurance refers to a range of policies designed to provide financial support in the event of death, serious illness, or loss of income due to accident or illness. It includes life insurance, critical illness cover, and income protection.
Do I need life insurance if I don’t have children?
Life insurance isn’t just for parents. It can help a partner, cover outstanding debts like a mortgage, or even contribute towards funeral costs, easing the financial burden on loved ones.
What’s the difference between critical illness cover and income protection?
Critical illness cover pays a one-off lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a serious illness, while income protection provides a regular income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury.
Can I get protection insurance if I have a pre-existing medical condition?
Yes, but it may affect the terms or cost of your cover. Some insurers specialise in covering individuals with medical histories. It’s important to speak with an adviser to explore your options.
How much protection cover do I need?
This depends on your personal circumstances – including your income, debts, family needs, and lifestyle. An adviser can help calculate the right level of cover for your situation.
Will my protection insurance pay out straight away?
Each policy type has its own terms. Life insurance pays out upon death, critical illness cover pays on diagnosis of a covered condition, and income protection usually has a deferred period before payments begin.
Is protection insurance expensive?
Costs vary based on age, health, lifestyle, and the amount of cover you need. Many people are surprised to find how affordable protection can be, especially when arranged early.
Can I review or change my cover later on?
Yes, and it’s recommended. Your needs may change over time due to events like having children, moving house, or changing jobs. Regular reviews ensure your protection remains suitable.
