From what ive heard to be getting about a grand a month cover you will be paying a very high premium!!

Hi
It's ok having the cover but you have to make sure that they will pay out, how long you have to be off work to pay out and what illnesses are not covered, like Cancer and the like.

Rog thats about what i have been quoted at the moment with a 2 month wait for£1000 i would pay £46.51 per month I was wondering if anyone had found a policy that gave a wide range of cover as reading small print is a pain for us all ....................Alan

We have a personal accident scheme (that can include sickness too).
Premiums start at £95.00 for accident only and £175 for Accident & Sickness. The benefit is £250 pw and the deferred period is 14 days.

This isn't an income protection type policy though, I must make that point. This insurance only pays out for 2 years.
-
Most income protection policies only pay out for 12 months, and cover ceases at the age of 65 years.
I had a policy with American Life, and when it ceased on my 65th, I had all my premiums returned.
They still offer the insurance cover but not the return of premiums.

At your age Dave I'd take out as much as you can :o

are'nt self employed people usually excluded in the policy small print ?.

Creighton, iirc that's one of the differences between an accident and sickness plan and income protection. These plans don't pay your wage, they pay a set amount and your premiums are set accordingly.
Also, if you have proof of income over a few years you can normally qualify for the same as employed people anyway I think.

Creighton,
This type of insurance is available to self employed people, both Accident/Sickness cover and Income Protection Insurance. On the accident insurance policy (we can arrange), the Average Weekly Wage is calculated as follows;
Average weekly wage
An insured person’s average weekly wage (not including payments for overtime, commission or bonuses) before tax and National Insurance for the 13 weeks immediately before the first date they are off work due to accident or illness. If the insured person is self-employed or a director orshareholder of a small private company, this will be 1/52 of the total of:
the insured person’s net profit as declared to HM Revenue & Customs or the Irish Revenue;
plus
the insured person’s regular dividend payment for the 13 weeks before the first day they are off work due to the accident or illness;
plus
any items which we consider to be non-refundable overheads in the insured person’s trading accounts. In this calculation, we will not include any items we consider to be variable costs.
Accident/Sickness cover only pays out for a maximum of 2 years, Income Protection Insurance usually pays out for a set term, eg to 65 or for 25 years if you are wanting cover for the length of time you have a mortgage.
Premiums for IPI are based on your age, benefit amount and length of term. You can read more at www.gleaminginsurance.co.uk/income-protection-insurance.html (http://www.gleaminginsurance.co.uk/income-protection-insurance.html)
