There are a number of important events – what we call ‘Key Life Events’ – that may cause you to want to change your cover. If you submit an application form within 90 days of any of the following Key Life Events happening to you, you’ll find the process to change your cover simple and easy.
The standard waiting period for income protection cover is 60 days. You can change this waiting period to 30 days if this suits you better.
Outside making changes to your income protection cover because of an important event (key life event) you can also increase your income protection insurance cover, if your salary increases and usually without having to provide medical evidence, within two months of the salary rise.
