WHY YOU SHOULDN’T CANCEL YOUR PROTECTION
Research shows that a rising number of people are cancelling their protection insurance policies as the cost-of-living crisis continues to bite.
According to research by Consumer Intelligence1, 8.2% of people have cancelled or reduced an insurance policy and 6.8% said they would consider cutting back in the future.

It is understandable that households struggling with basic expenses would look to cut costs wherever possible. However, cutting back on protection insurance could make an already difficult situation much worse.
It won’t happen to me…
There is a tendency to think that bad things only happen to other people, but the fact is that you never know what is around the corner. Protecting yourself financially is one of the best ways to minimise your vulnerability to financial shocks.
Sadly, being too sick to work is not as rare as you might think. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS)2, the number of working-age people who can’t work due to long-term sickness is now 2.5 million.
