This provides income where you are ill or injured, and as a result your income through employment or your normal route stops.
It is designed to replace most of your net income.
Cover lasts for either a set term in whole years, or to a given age (typically your state retirement age). The amount you pay is called the premium. It can either be guaranteed not to change, or it can be reviewable. Reviewable cover normally changes based on the claims experience of the life assurance company.
