Corinium Insurance

Cover Overview

What is Income Protection?

Income Protection is a short term policy that allows you to protect your income against unfortunate incidents such as being made unemployed or suffering an illness or having an accident.

Most of us are not able to predict a period of unemployment, broken bone or a sudden illness. When this happens, it can often mean time off work resulting in a loss of earnings. This can put a lot of pressure on you and your family if you have to cover your bills, rent or other financial commitments.

By covering yourself with a Corinium Income Protection policy you will be safe in the knowledge that you will have some breathing room whilst you are off work.

The policy offers a range of cover and waiting periods to help tailor your policy needs and premium affordability.

You can cover your income up to £2,500 per month or 65% of your normal income, whichever is lower.

If you would like a quote, hit the 'Get a Quote' button and simply follow the instructions on screen and answer the questions when prompted to apply.

Changes to your premium will not depend on your individual circumstances but on the cost of overall claims.
