Niamh’s new client Laura, bought a short term income protection plan 10 years ago, which paid benefits for any illness or illness for up to 12 months. After analysing Laura’s needs, Niamh has recommended that Laura should consider a long term income protection plan. However, Laura has had some health problems over the last few years and it is likely that a new policy will be subject to special terms.

Niamh recommended that Laura keep her short term income protection plan and top it up with the Dentists’ Provident Select income protection plan with a deferred period of 52 weeks. This would give Laura the long term cover she needs, while preserving the favourable underwriting terms of her previous policy.

Terence’s fee based client, Orla, has been working a hospital based orthodontist for the last fourteen years. Orla has recently decided to leave her hospital role and take up a full-time role at a private practice in Mayo.

Orla has been a member of Dentists’ Provident, since starting work. She currently holds the Select income protection plan with a split deferred cover of 26 and 52 weeks, totalling €4,000 per month. However, in the last five years, both her mother and sister were successfully treated for breast cancer. Terence has advised Orla that this could affect her application for income protection insurance and instead she can simply exercise the option to reduce her deferred period to 4 weeks for both the covers under her plan.
