AIG in their own words
AIG’s income protection (IP) gives your clients a monthly payment if they can’t work because they ill or injured. You might want to explain it to your clients as a bit like a replacement payday for when they’re ill.
Income is the thing that keeps a roof over our heads, food on the table, and clothes on our back. It’s also what helps us do the things we love. We like to think of income protection in two parts:
- The financial side: keeping money coming in every month to take care of day-to-day bills
- The wellbeing side: making sure your clients are happy and healthy, helping them back to work
We want to help your clients support themselves and their families. Financially, physically, and mentally.

Prevention / Rehabilitation / Financial Protection
Prevention
We’ve all heard the saying ‘prevention is better than cure’. Life happens and you can’t always stop an illness or injury. But AIG want to put your clients in the best position possible to look after their health and wellbeing.
Let’s introduce you to Smart Health*, AIG’s health and wellbeing service. Available from day one of the policy, it offers six different ways for your clients to stay at their best – whether that’s mental health support or a 24/7 online GP. Accessed via the app or website, it’s unlimited and includes partners and children up to age 21 too.
*Smart Health is provided to AIG Life Limited customers by Teladoc Health. These services are non-contractual, which means they don’t form part of the insurance contract. If AIG’s partnership with Teladoc Health ends, these services could be changed or withdrawn in the future.
Rehabilitation
If client’s do end up needing to take some time off, AIG will offer services to help get them back on the feet straight away.
Rehabilitation
From the moment your clients are unable to work, they can get help from vocational rehabilitation specialists to speed up their recovery.
Recuperation
When it’s time to go back to work, your clients can get access to services to help them do just that. Whether it’s physiotherapy, counselling or retraining, AIG could pay up to 3 x their monthly benefit amount to help cover the cost.
Hospitalisation
If your clients are in hospital for a long time the costs can rack up. That’s why AIG will give them £100 a night from the seventh night of their stay – making life that little bit easier.
Financial Protection
The last thing your clients need to be worrying about when they’re poorly is paying the bills. Income Protection puts a stop to these concerns – making sure they get a monthly payment to look after day-to-day expenses.
AIG will pay up to 60% of the first £60,000 of their salary, plus 50% of anything after that.
