Payment protection
Payment Protection plans are designed to offer a short term cover in the event of you being unable to work.
The main advantage is that they have a short ‘deferred period’, which means that payments normally start quite quickly in the event of a claim. Further advantages are that you can select unemployment cover.
The major disadvantage is that they will cease payments after a certain amount of time, normally 12 or 24 months, irrespective of whether you have returned to work.
