FAMILY PROTECTION
Protecting your family's future income
Family Income Benefit is designed to provide a regular monthly income to your loved ones if you die during the policy term, helping to support everyday living costs when they may need it most.

Protect What Matters
With appropriate cover in place, you'll have confidence that your family could receive ongoing financial support if they ever need it.
SUPPORTING YOUR FAMILY
Helping Your Family Maintain Their Lifestyle
Family Income Benefit is designed to provide ongoing financial support rather than a one-off lump sum. Following a valid claim, your loved ones could receive a regular monthly income throughout the remaining benefit period, helping them continue meeting everyday living costs.
This type of cover may be particularly relevant for families who rely on one or both incomes to meet household expenses, childcare costs and other ongoing financial commitments.
ONGOING FAMILY SUPPORT
Regular Income Instead Of A Single Lump Sum
Rather than providing one large payment, Family Income Benefit is designed to pay a regular income for the remaining policy term following a valid claim.
This can make it easier for a family to manage recurring costs over time, although the most suitable approach will depend on individual circumstances, priorities and budget.
- Support for everyday household expenses
- Cover designed around a chosen monthly amount
- A benefit period selected to reflect family needs
Regular Monthly Income
Provides a regular income throughout the remaining benefit period following a valid claim, helping your family manage ongoing household expenses.
Everyday Living Costs
Monthly payments could help contribute towards mortgage or rent, household bills, groceries, childcare and other essential commitments.
Designed Around Your Family
The monthly benefit and policy term can be selected to reflect your family's circumstances, financial commitments and future plans.
Greater Financial Reassurance
Knowing that regular financial support could continue may provide reassurance that your loved ones would have help with day-to-day costs.
HOW IT WORKS
How Family Income Benefit Insurance Works
Family Income Benefit is designed to provide your loved ones with a regular monthly income if you die during the policy term. Rather than paying one lump sum, the policy is intended to make ongoing payments for the remaining benefit period following a valid claim.
The monthly benefit and policy term are selected when cover is arranged, allowing the protection to reflect your family’s regular financial commitments, future plans and budget.
FROM PLANNING TO MONTHLY SUPPORT
Four Decisions Shape How The Policy Could Support Your Family
The monthly amount, policy term, ongoing premiums and remaining benefit period all influence how Family Income Benefit may respond following a valid claim.
Advice can help you consider these choices in the context of your household income, regular commitments, existing cover and the people who rely on you financially.
Choose The Monthly Income
Decide how much regular financial support you would like your family to receive each month, within the limits available from the insurer.
Select The Policy Term
Choose how long the policy should remain in place, often with family milestones and the expected period of financial dependency in mind.
Keep The Cover In Place
Cover continues while premiums are maintained and the policy terms are met, subject to the insurer’s conditions and any exclusions.
Monthly Payments After A Valid Claim
If you die during the policy term and a valid claim is accepted, the monthly benefit is paid for the remaining benefit period, subject to the policy terms.
BUILDING A WIDER PROTECTION PLAN
Different Types Of Protection Can Work Together
Every family has different financial priorities, which is why protection is rarely about choosing just one type of policy. Different products are designed to respond to different risks and may complement one another depending on your circumstances.
Family Income Benefit can form part of a wider protection plan by providing regular monthly payments following a valid claim, while other types of cover may provide lump-sum or income-based support for different events.
ONGOING MONTHLY FAMILY SUPPORT
Family Income Benefit
Family Income Benefit is designed to provide regular monthly payments for the remaining benefit period following a valid claim. This can help your loved ones manage ongoing household costs over time rather than relying on a single lump sum.
The monthly amount and policy term can be selected to reflect your family’s income needs, regular commitments, future plans and budget.
LUMP-SUM SUPPORT
Life Insurance
Life Insurance is designed to pay a lump sum if you die during the policy term. It may help loved ones repay debts, support future plans or manage other financial commitments.

Critical Illness Cover
Critical Illness Cover is designed to pay a lump sum if you are diagnosed with one of the specified critical illnesses covered by the policy, subject to its terms and conditions.

Income Protection

Explore Income ProtectionWHEN SHOULD YOU REVIEW YOUR COVER?
Reviewing Your Family Income Benefit As Life Changes
Your protection needs are unlikely to stay the same forever. As your family grows, your financial commitments change or your household income evolves, it may be worth reviewing whether your Family Income Benefit still reflects the support your loved ones could need.
A review can help you understand whether the monthly benefit, policy term and wider protection arrangements remain appropriate for your current circumstances.
LIFE RARELY STANDS STILL
Your Protection Should Keep Pace
Family Income Benefit is often arranged around a particular stage of life. Over time, changes to your family, home, income or regular commitments may alter the level or duration of support you would want to provide.
Reviewing existing cover does not automatically mean replacing it. Existing policy terms, health changes, underwriting, cost and the potential loss of valuable benefits should all be considered before any recommendation is made.
Your Family Grows
Marriage, civil partnership, the birth or adoption of a child can increase the number of people relying on your income.
You Move Home
A larger mortgage, higher rent or increased household costs may change the level of ongoing support your family could need.
Your Household Income Changes
A salary increase, reduction in income or a change in who earns what can affect the monthly benefit you may wish to consider.
Your Commitments Increase
Childcare, education costs, caring responsibilities or other regular expenses can alter your family's financial priorities.
Your Children Become Independent
As children grow older and become less financially dependent, the amount or remaining term of cover may need reconsidering.
It Has Been Several Years
If your policy has not been reviewed for some time, a conversation can help confirm whether it still reflects your circumstances.
