What Insure has introduced an income protection (IP) plan which will include cover should a person find themselves in the position of becoming a carer.
The product covers a proportion of a client's income if they are unable to work as a result of circumstances such as unemployment, accident, sickness and hospitalisation. An additional feature being offered is cover in the event that a client has to become a carer for a partner or family member and can no longer work.
The company has also announced that it will be launching mortgage payment protection insurance in March to add to its existing mortgage and lifestyle protection range.
Neil Harkin of What Insure said: "According to research carried out by Aviva last year, UK households have access to less than two weeks readily disposable cash, so there is undoubtedly a significant need to protect household income, particularly in these challenging economic times."
