Income Protection Insurance Claim Payout Rates by Insurer

Percentage of Income Protection Claims Paid by Insurer

The table below shows what proportion of income protection insurance claims were paid by each insurer (that published their payout rates).

As well as nearly every insurer sharing their claims payout data, certain providers now publish annual claims reports, providing detailed information on the common causes of claims, as well as reasons for rejections.

There is still a perception that these insurances don’t pay out, but fortunately the vast majority of claims are successful and provide an invaluable financial safety net for UK households.

Insurers use slightly different criteria for categorising declined claims; for example, some insurers might treat a fraudulent claim as declined, whereas others could have a different way of classing them.

Given this, the above table isn’t a simple measure of whether which insurer offers the best Income Protection Insurance. One insurer might have better policy wording or could be more suited to you. That’s why it’s helpful to get advice from someone who knows the market and providers inside out.

Need Advice Choosing The Best Income Protection?

When considering income protection insurance, above all you’ll want to ensure that your selected insurer will pay the benefit you’re entitled to in the event of a genuine claim, being there when you need the financial support the most.

However, on top of claims data you’ll also want to know that you’ve chosen the best Income Protection for you as an individual, including finding an insurer that will be most suitable for your circumstances such as your medical history and general health and lifestyle.
