More than ever, income protection is vital. A recent study shows that a large portion of the U.K population is off work due to long-term illness. The O.N.S (Office for National Statistics) said; Around 2.5 million people in the U.K are currently not working due to health problems.
It said an increase in mental health issues and people suffering back pain, possibly due to home working, were the main causes of the rise. Typically, for every 13 people currently working, one person is long-term sick.
If you have a mortgage and sickness arrives, the payments will still need to be met.
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss the possibilities of getting income protection. This is a product that will take care of mortgage payments while you are too ill to work.
