Benefits AIB Income Insurance

• AIB Income Insurance helps to maintain the level of lifestyle which you are used to by replacing some of your earned income. This cover continues until the age of 65
• Escalation (this is optional cover) - if we pay a claim for incapacity benefit, we will increase the incapacity benefit amount paid on the first and every anniversary of the date we start paying. The amount of the increase will be: the yearly rate of increase in the consumer price index for the last year; or 5%; whichever is lower
• You may be entitled to tax relief on contributions
• Cover continues, no matter how many claims you make
