If you become sick or injured to the extent that you are absent from work for a prolonged period, Income Protection (IP) cover allows you to claim an insurance benefit from Rest.
Income Protection (IP) cover provides you with an income stream in the event that you’re unable to work for an extended period due to injury or sickness.
Our IP benefit aims to protect you financially by providing you with a monthly income which allows you to continue to pay living expenses, debts and treatment costs, and focus on your recovery.
You may be eligible to receive an IP benefit, if you’re medically certified as being unable to work for longer than your waiting period (typically 60 days) and meet the other eligibility criteria in the policy. If you want to know more about an income protection claim, give us a call and we can check your account to see if you can make a claim.
