Income protection<br/>Fact vs fiction

We’re here to help you get the most out of your income protection policy, so let’s clear up a few common myths.

Our customer service teams are always paying attention to your questions. Here are 3 common myths debunked. 

 

  1. ‘If I claim my premiums will go up’ 

❌ False

Making a claim does not cause your premiums to increase. Whilst your premiums may change over time depending on how your policy is structured, claiming is never the reason.

 

2. ‘Once I claim, my policy ends’

❌ False

You can claim multiple times whilst you have a policy with us! Your policy won’t end after you claim. 

 

3. ‘I won’t have to pay tax on my benefit payments’ 

✅ True

Currently, all benefit payments are tax-free.
