Zurich protection have issued some really decent guidance on how they will help customers maintain their Mortgage Protection plans- something that's VERY important but could easily become a casualty of cutting back on outgoings...in brief, protection customers can defer their premiums for up to three months or choose to decrease their sum assured and premium for a certain period of time, and then increase again without underwriting. For Income Protection customers, they’re increasing flexibility to ensure more customers can benefit from the career break option.

And similarly just as important, our customers and their families have access to the Zurich support service which is free and confidential, and can provide guidance on stress management, work and life balance or personal finance management. This service is not restricted to customers who are claiming and can be used at any time.

These are really positive moves to keep protection in place when it is perhaps most needed, if you can't get the info you need from Zurich and need further guidance on this please get in touch!
