Income Protection insurance replaces income lost when a person is unable to work due to unexpected accident or illness.

After meeting a specified waiting period, Income Protection insurance is paid as a monthly benefit by the insurer for as long as you meet the insurers definition of Totally or Partially disabled.

The quality of Income Protection policies differ greatly because there are so many variables involved. Some of the more important ones include:

  • Benefit Level
  • Benefit Type
  • Waiting Period
  • Benefit Period
