Primary Income Replacement Plan

Personal and family life involves taking on some serious financial commitments. A new mortgage, children's education and home improvements can all make maintaining a constant income a vital necessity.

But what if illness or injury threatened your ability to earn a living?

In the UK:

  • there are over 2.6 million people unable to work due to incapacity and claiming State benefits*
  • 74% of these claimants have been in receipt of these benefits for 2 years or more *

Unum's Primary Income Replacement Plan is designed to ensure that an individual's top priority financial commitments can be met should illness or injury make them unable to work.

Primary Income Replacement provides financial security through regular benefit payments. The plan also recognises the desire to return to a full, working life as soon as possible by allowing access to Unum's unique Vocational Rehabilitation Services.
