You don’t have to suffer a life-threatening illness to find yourself unable to work. If your salary stopped next month, would your savings be enough? Your mortgage, rent, household bills and everyday commitments won't stop just because your income does.
There is a common misconception that income protection policies won’t pay out, or that policies won’t cover time off for mental health reasons. However the latest figures published by ABI and Group Risk Development (June 2026) demonstrate that this is not the case. In fact, a record £209 million was paid out for all types of individual income protection claims in 2025, up 2% from the previous year's record.
Income Protection is a cornerstone of financial resilience and can provide a regular replacement income if illness or injury prevents you from working, subject to the policy terms and conditions. Get in touch to find out how you could protect your income.
