Income Protection
Income Protection can give you a monthly income if you get ill with a severe condition that prevents you from working for an extended period. The world of work has changed a lot lately, but one thing remains constant – most of us need to work to pay our bills and enjoy life’s pleasures like vacations, cars, and dining out.
However, even if we’re seriously sick, the bills won’t stop coming in. If you happen to fall ill or have an accident that keeps you from working, the sudden loss of income can be really tough to handle.
That’s where income protection comes to the rescue. It provides you with a regular income if you can’t work due to illness or injury.
