Accident Payment Protection

Accident payment protection is often offered in addition to other forms of life and health insurance or to mortgages. You will be required to pay an additional fee that if you are involved in an accident or suffer some illness and are unable to work will ensure that your mortgages and other necessary bills get paid each month.

The premiums that will be charged on such policies are determined by the amount of cover a person wishes to take out along with the person's age. So the older you are and the more coverage you request then the more you will be expected to pay.

Also another thing which will affect the amount you pay on your premiums relates to the kind of coverage that you take out. Some policies are designed to cover a person's overall lifestyle, whilst other are simply those to protect their mortgage payments or other kinds of loan payments.

One should be aware that if a person suffers from a pre-existing medical condition then they may not be able to take out this kind of insurance. So it is important that when you are applying for any kind of payment protection insurance you fully disclose all health problems. Sometimes however this exclusion may be waived on a possibly if it is found that the person has not suffered from the condition for a period of two years or more prior to the date of the policy being taken out. So you need to read through all the terms and conditions prior to you applying for any such policies.
