By Jeffrey Allen


No matter how much you took care of your self, there is still the risk of you having an illness or an event which would lead you to becoming a disabled person. Income protection Dublin is an insurance which pays out a regular cash payment in replacement to your lost income for events. This is if you cannot pay it due to a medium to long term illness or disability.

It works this way, if you get an illness or becomes disabled person and it is gonna be for a long period of time you can avail this. That is if you yourself is working full time or self employed and has to leave it due to such happening. And, you currently have any other sources of income rather than your job or business.

The term deferred period refers to the days in which you could not attend work or cater your business. You may choose your own deferred period as long as the number of weeks you choose is also the number of weeks in which you cannot work or do business. Commonly, companies have options like 4, 13, up to 52 weeks.

Now, not all policies has the deferred period. You need to find out whether they have it before signing up. Check also if a sick pay is offered. If it does, know up to how much it is and until when it lasts. Verify what kind of policy is it going to be, like would you be covered only when severely or permanently disabled.

You would need such protection when you are self employed and you have no any other income to get when you could not work. When your sick pay is only little to not having any at all. You have dependants who rely solely to you. No other sources of income. Lastly, your benefits are insufficient in replacing those lost income and expenses of yours.

Most probably right now, some of you are asking how can you get such cover. One way is by joining group schemes at your workplaces. If you want to do it alone, then apply for an individual policy. However, the group scheme is cheaper than the individual one. Another benefit is that insurance companies would not really check each individual medical records.

When it comes to the cost, it will depend on the level of your cover which is linked to your income percentage, the terms of policy, and how many weeks of period you choose. Also, with your age, medical history, health, and job. The higher your age is, the more expensive the policy is going to be.

The amount of money you would need to pay will depend on what type of policy you get. For group schemes, it would be cheaper since the cost is gonna be divided within your group. For an individual policy, you can decide up to how much do you want to get. Take note, that terms and conditions also count.

The moment you return to your respective work, the benefit will end. It will also end when you reach the ages of 55, 60, 65, depends upon what age is currently inputted in the policy, but mostly it is this. Of course, this ends when you die as well. Think hard if applying for one would be beneficial to you.
