Are You Overwhelmed by Payment Protection Options?
Overview
Navigating the world of payment protection can be daunting. Here's a breakdown of key insurance types to help you understand your options.
Critical Illness Insurance
This insurance provides coverage for serious illnesses like cancer, heart attack, and stroke, among others. It might also cover conditions such as paralysis, major organ transplants, and deafness. Note that coverage varies by provider, so always review the terms before committing.
Typically, if diagnosed with a covered illness, you’ll receive a tax-free lump sum. This sum can be used for mortgage payments, home modifications, or medical expenses.
Life Insurance
If your income supports your family, life insurance is crucial. It can serve as both protection and savings. Common types include:
- Term Insurance
- Whole Life Insurance
- Endowment Insurance
For detailed information, check resources like the Association of British Insurers.
Mortgage Life Insurance
This type mirrors decreasing term life insurance, offering a lump sum if the policyholder dies during the mortgage term. The payout decreases as the mortgage is paid off.
Mortgage Protection
Also known as mortgage payment protection, this insurance covers mortgage payments if you face unemployment, illness, or an accident. It typically includes:
- Unemployment and disability cover
- Accident or sickness cover
- Specific unemployment or disability cover
Loan Payment Protection
Similar to mortgage protection, but covering broader borrowing, these policies protect loan repayments. Be aware, premiums may be higher than those for mortgage protection.
Income Protection
In cases of job loss, sickness, or accidents, this insurance offers a limited income. Ensure you understand the policy terms, as it might provide less income than your usual earnings.
Private Medical Insurance
This policy covers medical treatment for acute conditions, defined as those expected to respond rapidly to treatment. It ensures quick access to care when needed, offering peace of mind.
