How our Voucher Rewards work: When you take out cover through Blue Light Insurance Solutions you are eligible for our voucher reward offer. The amount of your voucher is calculated by the size of your first monthly insurance policy premium, rounded up to the nearest £5. For example, if your policy premium was £46.50 per month, you would get a voucher reward worth £50.00. The voucher reward is payable only when your policy goes active and is issued 3 calendar months after your policy start date by email, using the same email address you used when you applied for cover with us. Maximum voucher reward per postcode is £150.00. If you allow your policy to lapse, or if the policy is in arrears prior to the intended voucher issuance date, then the voucher will be withheld until the policy is live and all payments are brought up to date. If for any other reason the insurer removes your policy from active status or your policy is in review, or further information is being assessed by underwriters before the intended voucher issuance date, the voucher will be withheld until the policy is “live” and premiums are paid and up to date again. Offer does not apply to "Private Medical Insurance", "Accident, Sickness & Unemployment Cover" or "Guaranteed Acceptance Life Insurance" plans.
What is Income Protection for?
Income Protection is designed to kick in and replace your income in the event you can't work due to illness or injury. An example would be if you were signed off work due to an injury, mental ill health, or something more serious like cancer.
Does it work if I have sick pay?
Income Protection policies are actually designed to work alongside employer sick pay. They do this by having what are known as "deferred periods". For example, if your employer offered you 8 weeks of sick pay, then your Income Protection policy would be set up with an 8 week "deferred period". This means it would pay out after your sick pay ends.
Can I use it if I'm self-employed?
YES! In fact as self-employed people have no employer sick pay Income Protection becomes more important than ever. For self employed people it is best to use the shortest "deferred period" possible. This means when you are off work, you can get your monthly benefit payments to kick in as soon as possible.
How much will it pay me per month?
You can set up Income Protection policies to suit your personal situation. However one rule is that the monthly benefit can't be more than 60% of your current pre-tax monthly income. This is because your insurance payment won't be taxed, so the amount you will end up with will then be similar to your current income.
How long does the monthly benefit pay for?
You can choose for the monthly benefit to be "unlimited". This means it would continue paying for the entire policy term (usually to retirement age) if you could never work again. You can also choose shorter payment periods such as 5 years, 2 years, and 1 year per claim. With these options, the premiums are cheaper.
How many times can I claim?
The best thing about Income Protection is you can claim as many times as you like over the policy term (usually to retirement age) AND the premiums don't change when you make a claim either!

How our Free Will Kits work: In the event you purchase a policy through Blue Light Insurance Solutions you will be eligible for a free will writing kit. Upon request we will send a will writing kit to you in the post no later than 14 working days following such request. Only one will kit per postcode. Will writing is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
How our premium discounts work: We apply a 10% “commission sacrifice” to all Life Insurance, Critical Illness Cover and Income Protection quotes, thereby reducing the standard commission levels we receive from the insurers, which leads to a reduction in your monthly premium. The discount will apply for the lifetime of your policy. Please note a 10% commission sacrifice will not result in a 10% reduction in insurance premium as the commission we receive only makes up a proportion of your monthly premium. The actual reduction in premium will depend on several factors including, but not limited to, the size of premium, and the commission levels offered to us by the chosen insurer. Offer does not apply to "Private Medical Insurance", "Accident, Sickness & Unemployment Cover" or "Guaranteed Acceptance Life Insurance" plans.
