to be honest, it was the only cover of this type i could find at the time.(8/9 years ago)
never made a claim so don’t really know what their like?

you can insure your income with loads of companys. or in sure your mortgage paymnets

just been looking in to this on swinton.

they seem to cover it.

What Personal Accident will cover†
Accidents at work – including dangerous occupations such as fire fighters, builders or roofers
Road traffic accidents whilst driving your car – even if it’s your fault
Accidents whilst gardening, doing DIY or playing amateur sports
Worldwide cover
Many dangerous hobbies e.g. scuba diving, mountain biking or surfing – even whilst on holiday

but i like the look of the income protection

Income Protection provides a monthly tax free income if you are unable to work through illness or injury. The policy will continue to pay out until you are well enough to return to work or you retire.

my spd policy was short term only. i think mine would only pay out for 6 month.

thanks for replys will have to look into it a bit more.. as tried income insurance and payments are £60.00 a month so bit steep…

swinton is about £5.50
