Currently, Income Protection Insurance can only be taken out as an individual plan as the policy needs to be written on your individual circumstances.
If you and your partner are looking for dual cover, then you can each take out your own Income Protection policy, insuring an amount equivalent to each partner’s contribution to household costs. The maximum amount of cover each partner can take out is 65% of gross (pre-tax) monthly income.
When setting Income Protection, the insurer needs to consider your specific occupation, income level, and health, which would make taking out a joint income insurance plan fairly complicated.
Although not strictly Income Protection, some insurers do allow joint Mortgage Payment Protection policies to be set up to cover joint mortgages. On this type of cover, some insurers may advertise a joint plan (quoting one premium) but actually set-up two single plans splitting cover between each partner.
Whether this is right for you depends on your circumstances, so it’s always worth getting specialist advice. Give us a call on 02084327333, or compare quotes online to get started.
