The true cost of work related ill health
22.7m working days were lost in the UK due to work related ill health between 2011 and 2012.
It is crucial to have a backup plan. Ill health (work related or not) happens to all of us at some point.
You can ensure your income will be protected with an affordable income protection plan.
You may have some protection from your employer too, but it is unlikely that it will be enough to support you and your family through a serious illness.
Not all income protection plans are the same and everyone’s unique circumstances will dictate their own individual needs. It is crucial to take independent financial advice on your income protection.
