Income protection is a type of insurance that covers you if you are unable to work after being diagnosed with an illness or disability. You will receive payments through a regular income until you can return to work or retire.
Income protection covers you for many types of illnesses and disabilities, but the expectation is that you can return to work eventually. In some cases, you cannot return to work and in this case your insurance expires as soon as you reach retirement age. Income Protection can pay out more than once, however, there is a cap on how much you can receive which is based on your salary.
You must also provide your policy with a deferred period. This time is the length of time that it will take for your policy to start paying. First, you must use your savings, employee sick pay scheme or other income. Once the deferred period is over, the policy will begin to pay. The shorter your deferred policy, the higher the cost of your premiums.
There will be differences among most of the policies that are not the same, no two people are the same. As a mortgage broker in Middlesbrough, it is our job to recommend the right policy for you and determine what specifications you will need in place for your Income Protection insurance policy.
We have also dealt with customers who have never had to claim their insurance. Ultimately, it is more important to have something in place in case your circumstances change. If you want to find out if Income Protection would be beneficial for you and your personal situation, contact us for a free initial insurance review in Middlesbrough.
At Middlesbroughmoneyman, we can offer you a free Insurance review with one of our protection advisors in Middlesbrough, During your review our team will go through your personal and financial situation and see if Income Protection will be the most suitable option for you. Your lifestyle, age and medical history will be factored into your Insurance review so that we can work out what policy you are looking for.
Income Protection can be costly, as it can pay out numerous times. If you have additional Insurances policies in place, it could be beneficial to work out the total costs and what you are covered for.
Upon taking out your policy, make sure you are aware of what it pays out for and the conditions that come with it. Your protection advisor in Middlesbrough will help with this.
Income protection insurance is designed so that it can pay you a monthly income if you happen to become unable to work for any reason. Previously known under the name of permanent health insurance (PHI), it can come in two variants, either with a monthly sum that pays out until you can work again, or a short-term version that only pays out for a limited period of time per claim.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The fee is up to 1% but a typical fee is £495.

UK Moneyman have helped with my mortgage and remortgage for many years. Always really helpful and knowledgeable. My latest remortgage was done with Conor, who was great at making sure I was getting not just the best deal, but the right deal for my needs.

I found Warren Bailey to be a very helpful and knowledgeable advisor when I discussed with him the potential options for a retirement mortgage . He had contacted me within a day of my seeking an initial conversation with him , and he reassured me there were lenders out there who would consider a mortgage paid out of pension , despite my own bank nort even talking to me as I was over 70 ! Within a couple days Warren had led me through the onboarding process , had explained what documents were needed and had found me a lender suited to my requirements. An excellent experience, and I would recommend him strongly to people looking for a retirement mortgage, and generally . Victor Abrams

We would have given them 20 stars. Both Warren & Lizzi have worked so hard on our behalf, in what has not been the smoothest of circumstances. They have been so professional and kept us updated. Would thoroughly recommend this company. With grateful thanks in getting us our mortgage.

I would highly recommend UK Money Man, especially Matthew Collinson and Paula. They have done an amazing job for me from start to finish. My previous mortgage broker got my application declined through TMW, and I was very stressed and worried. When I came to UK Money Man, they completely changed the game for me. Matthew was always helpful, professional, and kept me updated at every stage — even on his day off. That level of service really meant a lot to me. Paula was also fantastic and worked hard on my application. Thanks to their hard work and support, my mortgage was approved. I truly appreciate everything they have done for me and my family. I would definitely recommend Matthew, Paula, and UK Money Man to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive mortgage broker.
