Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB) has added LV='s Personal Sick Pay and Income Protection plans to its protection panel.

With more than 1,400 advisers across the UK, Mortgage Advice Bureau aims to grow the protection market so that more people can buy income protection when they take out a mortgage.

LV='s Personal Sick Pay (PSP), an income protection product developed for people in riskier jobs such as tradespeople, nurses and manual workers, is the first product of its kind to be included on the panel. For the self-employed and clients who are more expensive to insure, PSP offers many attractive features including age-costed premiums.

LV= Income Protection includes a range of features and benefits as standard and no extra cost including parent and child cover, fracture cover and death benefit. Budget options are available including 12 and 24 month limit claim periods. All include the full range of LV= benefits.

Alongside the core income protection insurance cover, LV= offers comprehensive daily benefits to help clients with everyday issues not linked to a claim. These include free access to legal and counselling advice and LV='s Doctor Services. This is an app-based service including remote GP and prescription services and provides access to physio, mental health and second opinion experts.

Debbie Kennedy, Managing Director of Protection at LV= said:

'At LV=, we have a unique income solution which makes it easier for advisers to have that all important protection conversation. We look forward to building a new partnership with MAB advisers and helping more clients to protect their income with our leading protection insurance.'

Andy Walton, Protection Proposition Director at MAB, said:

'I'm absolutely delighted to welcome LV= to our protection panel. They enable us to offer new solutions to more clients through personal sick pay and income protection. So should the unexpected happen, they can keep up the repayments on their mortgage and maintain their lifestyle.'

About LV=

LV= is a leading financial mutual and serves over 5.8 million customers with a range of financial products. When we started in 1843 our goal was to give financial security to more than just a privileged few and for many decades we were most commonly associated with providing a method of saving to people of modest means. Today we follow a similar purpose, helping people to protect and provide for the things they love, although on a much larger scale and through a wide range of financial services including insurance, investment and retirement products. We offer our services direct to consumers, as well as through IFAs and brokers.

LV= Doctor Services is a non-contractual benefit that can be changed or removed at any time.
