Income Protection Cover from Discovery Life
No income amounts to no way to provide for your family. Indeed, having a job is a privilege, but even if you do have one, you can’t foolishly believe you’ll always keep it. An injury or illness can strike you down in an instant and leave you without an income. And this is precisely why income protection cover from Discovery Life is gaining so much interest. People are beginning to realise that they need to provide for such an event as no-one is immune from calamity. Essentially, with income protection cover you can at least expect some form of monthly income.
What Is Income Protection Cover?
If the primary breadwinner should lose his or her job, where will the money come from to pay the mortgage? We know that we’re supposed to have an emergency fund for such event, but few of us do. Income insurance is necessary to protect your family. And all the more so if your employer doesn’t have an occupational sick pay scheme.
