Accident, sickness and unemployment cover insures you against changes in your circumstances due to redundancy, disability, or illness. Usually, payments are made for up to a maximum of 12 months.
If you would like to be covered for longer than this you may want to consider taking out income protection.
This Payment Protection Insurance is optional. There are other providers of Payment Protection Insurance and other products designed to protect you against loss of income.
