Mortgage Protection Payment Insurance

I have looked through my MPPI schedule but am still not sure if being in receipt of a state pension while in full time work would negate any claim if i was made redundant or become ill. Does anyone know?:confused:

    It shouldn't, however it really depends on the wording.

    MPPI generally will pay a fixed amount as long as you have a valid claim (i.e. have a condition covered under the policy etc) regardless of any income.

    However, if you are receiving a state pension, you would be over the age of retirement and most MPPI policies would only cover you up to a certain age anyway. It may be worth checking if there are any agre retrictions on the policy. Unfortunately although the mortgage lender may offer a mortgage, it doesn't mean the insurer will offer the cover.
