Income Protection
OUR ASSESSMENT
The adviser route can help align waiting periods with employer sick pay, but the selected benefit duration must still be explicit.
Features to compare
- Cover pays qualifying monthly benefits after a chosen waiting period.
- LV= directs new customers to LifeSearch for advice and comparison with other providers rather than offering a direct quote on this page.
Limitations and checks
- Match benefit duration, occupation definition and sick-pay arrangements. Income protection is not general redundancy insurance.
The question to ask
How long can each claim pay and when would the first payment arrive?
Before arranging cover
Use the current policy wording and your quotation schedule to confirm these points. Our assessment is desk research, not a first-hand claims test or a personal recommendation. We have not assigned a product score or established comparable claims-service performance.
