Our simple-to-use forms will ask for your basic personal, contact and employment details, whether your job is permanent, and your monthly income. You will also be asked if you're a smoker, and whether in the last 12 months you have been seen by a doctor, been treated by one, or arranged to see one.
The final section concerns the policy itself and will ask if you require cover for accident, sickness and unemployment, just accident and sickness, or just unemployment. The form is automatically set to cover mortgage payments, but there are alternative options to protect income, loan payments or rent payments, so just tick the loan payments box. You'll then be asked to enter how much loan cover a month you would like- you can choose from £100 up to 50% of your earned income, capped at a maximum of £3,000.
Our best-buy table will present the cover options with the name of the insurer, the monthly benefit available, the length of time you would have to wait after you stop working to the first payment (between one and 90 days), the maximum benefit period and the monthly premium. There will be a link to view the key features of each product, and the option to either request a call back or to go ahead and purchase online.
