Income Protection if you have to become a Carer

Income Protection if
you have to become a Carer
Most
people consider protecting their income if they become unable to work due to
their own ill health.  However, it is
estimated that 3 out of 5 people will become a Carer for a relative at some
point in their lives.  If this were to
happen to you, could your family afford for you to give up work?  In most cases, probably not!
Friends
Life have recently introduced Family Carer Benefit within their Income
Protection policies.
So
what does this mean?  If a child, spouse
or civil partner requires full-time care you could claim up to £1,500 per month
for 12 months to help cover the costs of adjusting to your new family life or
having to give up your full-time job. 
You don’t actually even have to give up working if this does not suit
you and your family.
