0800 141 889The world of Redundancy Protection Insurance can be confusing to navigate. But it’s essential that you do it right – your survival and wellbeing could well depend on it.
That’s what happened to Jeremy Walton. The company he’d been with for nearly a decade restructured three years ago. While they were appreciative of his contribution, they saw no way to bring his role into the new business structure. This was completely out of the blue and hit hard. Thankfully Jeremy had had the foresight to take out a Redundancy Protection Insurance policy a few years before this. He and wife Nicole discussed where to from there and made some minor adjustments to their lifestyle. Their relief was huge knowing their redundancy insurance cover maintained their mortgage repayments. Their bills were also covered for the 6 months that it took Jeremy to find another role that he felt was right for him.
Redundancy Protection Insurance vs Trauma Insurance – which do you need most?
People often consider these to be interchangeable but that’s not the case.
Trauma Insurance covers you in the event of a serious illness or injury. A list of these are agreed upon when you take out your trauma cover and it is payable as a once off lump sum payment.
The benefits of a Trauma Insurance policy are obvious as they provide immediate financial cover for your needs while you focus on recovery or adjusting to new circumstances. Trauma cover funds are available for unexpected medical bills.
The drawback of Trauma Insurance is that it covers once off amounts, but makes no provision for ongoing costs.
Your trauma cover policy can be reinstated, subjected to having selected the buyback option, once you have recovered from the illness or injury, but it will never again cover the condition already claimed.
