You will be required to submit medical evidence such as a report from your GP in order to qualify for income protection.

It will depend on how many extended periods you have off work in several years as to if you will be accepted.

Rates can vary from one provider to the next and can be accepted from a small premium loading to a decline if the surgery was too recent or had any complications.
