Foresters Friendly Society’s new Sickness Policy pays an income if you become out of work due to sickness or injury.
It is not exactly the same as a traditional income protection product, as the benefits are not based upon income.
Dependent on premium level, the policy has a payout range of £100 to £400 per week, and cover can be selected for either 26 or 52 weeks' benefit payments.
