Ever thought, how would you pay your dues and bills, if you get sick? Should it be a misfortune and your injury is not letting you go to work? Things are uncertain and when they knock your door, you need a protection and a peace of mind. For such situations, we have income protection insurances also known as permanent health insurance, income replacement insurance or long-term disability insurance. There are policies that are designed to protect you up to seventy percent of your gross, but the thing is— failure to pay your premiums will bring your policy to an end and you won’t get any premium if you are availing benefits. You need an expert advice before choosing a policy for you. We at DM Financial Services assures you about best advice that suits your needs and budget.
