Mortgage Payment
Protection Cover Options

MPPI cover provides two key forms of protection, protecting against the risk of forced unemployment and the risk of being unable to earn an income due to accident or sickness.

Accident and Sickness Cover Only
Mortgage protection is quite flexible in its nature and thus allows you to opt for the illness and injury proportion of the cover only. Such mortgage protection will pay out a benefit should you be unable to work due to illness or injury as certified by a doctor.

Unemployment Cover Only
Should you not require the accident and sickness proportion of the cover you can opt for an unemployment only plan. Generally speaking such cover will pay a monthly benefit should you have been made redundant and are registered with the relevant government agency as unemployed and are actively looking for employment.

Accident, Sickness & Unemployment Cover
A standard MPPI plan will combine both the illness and injury and the unemployment options protecting your mortgage against both types of risk.

How much am I able to protect?

The insurers recognise that should you be unable to earn an income there will be additional costs over and above your monthly mortgage payments which still need to be paid. When selecting the level of benefit, you are eligible to cover your mortgage repayments plus an additional 25% for associated costs such as council tax and utilities.

Across are panel of insurers the maximum benefit does vary, however generally speaking the monthly benefit is limited to a maximum of £2,000 or 65% of your gross monthly income, whichever is the lesser.

How long would I receive a benefit payment for?

MPPI is a short term payment protection product and as such the maximum benefit period is limited to either 12 or 24 months. Should you be unable to earn an income due to either accident, sickness or unemployment, assuming you have selected a 12 month protection plan the policy would pay out a monthly benefit either until you return to work or 12 months, whichever the lesser time period.

MPPI deferred period explained

The deferred period which is also known as the excess period is the length of time after which eligibility for the monthly benefit payment will start. Take a 30 day deferred period, such an excess period means you would have to be out of work for 30 days before you are eligible for a claim, you would then wait another 30 days before you receive your first payment.

What is a 'Back to Day 1' deferred period?

A back to day one excess is very similar to a standard 30 day deferred period in the fact that you would wait 30 days before your are eligible for a claim. However rather than waiting until day 60 before your first benefit payment you would be paid back for the first 30 days that you have been off work on day 31.

Is there an unemployment exclusion period?

With all mortgage payment protection plans there is an initial exclusion period on the Unemployment cover which tends to be around 120 days. Should you be made aware of the risk of redundancy or be told you are going to be made redundant during this first 120 days of the policy and unemployment claim would not be valid.

If you already hold an MPPI policy or are taking out cover at the same time you are applying for a new mortgage this unemployment exclusion period is often reduced or waived completely.

Are there any general MPPI policy exclusions?

There are a number of common exclusions written into the terms of mortgage protection plans with the most common being detailed below.

MPPI Unemployment Exclusions

You are notified about the risk of unemployment within the initial exclusion period, even though your unemployment may not take place until after this period.
It follows a period of casual, temporary or occasional work.
You are unemployed during a period in which you have received payment instead of working your notice.
Voluntary unemployment or voluntary redundancy other than to become a carer.
You are dismissed by your employer because of your own misconduct.

MPPI Accident & Sickness Exclusions

Illness or injury resulting from you deliberately injuring yourself;
Accident or illness resulting from a pre-existing condition;
Injury or sickness resulting from a chronic condition that you knew about or should reasonably have known about at the start date, whether it needed medical attention at that time or not;
Caused by normal pregnancy and childbirth-related conditions
