Your mortgage is probably the largest, most important financial commitment you’ll make. With this in mind, you need to be certain that you will have funds available if you become unemployed or are unable to work due to an accident or illness (also known as disability) and cannot meet your monthly repayments.
The amount of cover depends on your mortgage repayment but you can choose when the cover starts to be paid. This is known as a deferred period and is normally 30 or 60 days.
The benefit is normally paid for a maximum of 12 or 24 months, or until you return to work, whichever is sooner.
Your Choices
The choices you make will depend on your own circumstances. You can choose who is covered;
- Just yourself
- Just your partner
- Both you and your partner (the cover is split between you)
