Cover Overview

What Is Income Protection Insurance?

Income Protection Insurance is a short term policy designed to help protect your monthly income if you are unable to work due to accident, illness, or unemployment. It provides financial breathing room during unexpected periods away from work, helping you stay on top of essential bills, rent, and other commitments.

With a Corinium Income Protection policy, you can tailor your cover level, excess period, and optional unemployment protection to suit your needs and budget.

Key Features of Corinium Income Protection
  • Cover up to £2,000 per month or 65% of your normal income (whichever is lower)
  • Choice of excess periods
  • Simple monthly premiums with no interest added
  • Claims payments made directly to you

  • Access to Square Health Benefits: Digital GP, mental health support, physiotherapy, second medical opinion
