It's when you need to make a claim that you realise just how wise investing in health and medical insurance can be.
If you're unable to work because of illness or injury, Income Protection Insurance is designed to provide you with a regular tax-free monthly income.
The maximum amount of income you can replace through insurance is broadly the after-tax earnings you have lost, less an adjustment for state benefits you can claim. As with all insurance, it is important that you have a policy that provides the cover that suits your individual needs.
Long-term income repayment policies usually come into play between the time when your employer stops paying sick pay and when you collect your pension.
Shorter-term policies tend to be used to protect a mortgage, bank loan or other payment. These usually commence within a few weeks but stop entirely after 12 months or 24 months. Short-term policies often include unemployment and redundancy, unlike longer-term income protection cover, which does not.
To clarify, Income Protection Insurance only applies to products that pay you an income if you become unable to work due to sickness or injury.
We will happily explain this to you in more detail.
Read lessVery happy with both the service and products recommended by Louisa at Metcalf Wealth Management, I found the whole process to be very easy, and was put under no pressure whatsoever to accept any particular product. In short, good honest advice by a very friendly adviser.
After much searching and initial enquiries with finance / investment management advisors it proved the right decision to go with Metcalf. At all stages confirmation that solution options met with my needs was paramount and always with a relaxed very professional approach. Louisa and the team are extremely knowledgeable.”
I have had a relationship with the Metcalf Wealth Managers team since 2017, and they have been very helpful in amalgamating various personal pension schemes into a SIPP and another longer-term pension structure. The team have also been integral regarding monthly drawdowns from the SIPP in a tax-efficient way, keeping me fully informed on the corresponding paperwork trail as necessary. I fully recommend their advisory services accordingly.
Metcalf Wealth Managers provide a highly professional service in a very friendly and helpful way which I value and appreciate. Louisa is extremely knowledgeable and explains matters properly without being confusing. I trust her guidance, advice and recommendations and I feel that my investments are being well managed and are in very capable hands.
I have been very pleased with the quality of work you carried out on my behalf and would be happy to both recommend you to others and approach you for your assistance again once my finances and/or situation requires it.
