Income Insurance

Give yourself a little peace of mind with Nova Income Insurance. Income insurance also known as Income Protection, is a type of insurance that pays you a regular income if you can no longer work due to an injury or illness after a certain period of time, known as the deferred period (you can choose a period of 13, 26 or 52 weeks), for as long as you are eligible. It can be one less worry off your mind!

Protection products are provided by Irish Life Assurance plc.
