Can I Claim Income Protection on Sick Leave?
No, it is generally not possible to claim income protection insurance for sick leave.
Income protection insurance is designed to provide income replacement in the event of an illness or injury that prevents you from working for an extended period. Sick leave, on the other hand, is typically provided by employers and offers a limited amount of paid time off for temporary illness.
Income protection insurance comes into effect after a waiting period and provides coverage beyond the duration of sick leave. It's important to review the terms and conditions of your specific income protection insurance policy to understand the coverage details and any applicable waiting periods.
