Income protection

With an earnings protection plan we'll pay you a tax-free income every month if you can't work due to illness or injury, to spend how you like. Alternatively, with an expenditure protection plan, a monthly benefit is provided to help pay your main bills, such as your mortgage, if you can't work due to illness or injury.

You'll be safe in the knowledge that you could maintain your current lifestyle - whatever happens.

  • peace of mind that your family could be financially secure, even while you cannot work.
  • earnings protection will give you regular, tax-free income to spend how you like - up to 50% of your earnings.
  • expenditure protection can pay your major bills, such as your mortgage and you can still receive state benefits to which you are entitled
  • rehabilitation services give you access to specialist advice and guidance to help you cope with your illness/injury and return to work.
  • and, as with all Co-operative Insurance products, you can get a face-to-face appointment with one of our personal financial advisers to help you get the right cover.
