No one can say their job is safe and with the future being unpredictable if you have loans, credit cards or a mortgage you could be left worrying how you would manage to repay them if you were to come out of work. While you cannot predict the future you can safeguard your finances with payment protection insurance taken out in the form of redundancy cover which can give you a replacement income. If you were made redundant, and providing you had checked the terms and conditions of a policy, then redundancy cover would give you the money needed to carry on paying your essential outgoings once you had been out of work for a period of time continually.

Mortgage payment protection can be taken out if you have monthly mortgage repayments to make and can help you to keep the roof over your head. If you wish to protect your income in general then income protection would replace your income up to a set amount each month.
