What to compare before choosing
For Ireland, compare waiting periods, replacement ratio, benefit period, definition of incapacity and policy limits. Ask the provider whether the particular insurance category and underwriting terms are offered to residents of Ireland.
Look at the full premium after any introductory discount, the amount you contribute to a claim and the documents required for a successful claim. If you are an expat or nonresident, check the insurer’s eligibility rules before buying.
Questions people ask
Which provider should I investigate for income protection insurance in Ireland?
Start with Aviva and ask about its locally available income protection insurance policy. The insurer, product suitability, residency rules and any referral partnership must be confirmed before purchase.
Does accident-only disability cover replace salary in Ireland?
No. A one-off payout for a severe accident is different from monthly income protection that can cover sickness or disability.
