| What am I not covered for? |
| There are no standard exclusions in Pure Protection. However, to be clear, income protection generally is not designed to cover you for the following: |
|
Unemployment You cannot claim just because you become unemployed. This plan does not cover for unemployment or redundancy. |
|
Pregnancy Pure Protection will not pay benefit for any claim which is made solely as a result of the normal effects of pregnancy or childbirth. |
|
Cosmetic Surgery or Sterilisation Pure Protection does not provide you with cover if you need to have any time off work as a result of any cosmetic surgery or a sterilisation that you choose to have. |
|
Claiming abroad Pure Protection covers you for illness and injuries that happen anywhere around the world. However, for us to be able to pay your income replacement benefit, you must be either resident and in the UK, any country in the EU or a selected list of other countries at the time. |

If you're an employee and unable to work due to illness or injury, the maximum statutory sick pay you would receive is £81.60 per week for the first 28 weeks (Source: HMRC 2011). Would this pay the bills?
Having income protection means not having this worry. It means reassurance that if you are ill or injured and cannot work, you can still protect your family.
There's nothing more important in life than your health. Having private medical insurance means that if you need medical treatment you will be looked after quickly with a greater choice of quality hospital facilities.
Less worry about waiting times, less worry about catching a hospital acquired infection, and more peace of mind that if the unexpected happens you will be treated in the best possible way.
Living abroad is many people's dream. Sun, sea, sand and cocktails by the beach. But living abroad isn't all worry free, particularly when it comes to looking after your health.
Finding and paying for quality treatment can be a real challenge, the last thing you need when you're feeling unwell. That's why private medical insurance designed especially for expats is so valuable. Peace of mind that you are protected.
