Key Benefits of Bill Cover
Reliable Monthly Payouts
If your claim is accepted, you will receive a steady monthly amount to help cover your expenses.
Flexible Deferred Periods
Work with your adviser to choose when payments start after an inability to work begins: 8, 13, 26, or 52 weeks.
Choice of Payment Terms
Choose how long your claim payments will last: 2 years, 5 years, or until your benefit is due to end.
Claim Multiple Times
You can claim multiple times under this benefit, provided you return to work between claims.
Premium Waiver During Claims
You do not have to make your bill cover payments while actively receiving a claim payout (though payments for other benefits must continue). Regular payments resume when your claim ends.
Notes
Important points to note
1
Claim time limits
Depending on the term you choose, your claim could end before you return to work. For example, on a two-year term, payouts stop after two continuous years, even if you are still unable to work.
2
Unemployment restrictions
If you are unemployed for more than one month, you cannot claim for bill cover. You can cancel at this point. If you return to work within six months, you can restart without extra medical details.
3
Impact on state benefits
Receiving a bill cover claim may affect your entitlement to state benefits, such as Jobseeker’s Allowance or Disability Allowance. Speak to your financial adviser for more information.
4
Coverage scope
If you take out bill cover on your plan, please note that your children are not covered under this specific benefit.
