Gross Income for MPPI

Hi Everyone,

Norwich Union recently contacted me to say my Mortgage payment Protection Pol.icy was increasing to £6.23 per £100 due to the current challenges within the UK economy. Changing my payment from £20 to nearly £25.

I visited iprotect, but I don't think I can take it out.

It says:
The cover amount must not exceed 75% of the gross income amount.

And:
The average of your normal gross monthly earned income (which has been declared to the Inland Revenue).

So I put in my mortgage amount of £354, but my earnings aren't enough. Is it only earnings I can use?

I am part time 18 hours, low paid and the rest of my income is made up of Working Tax credit, Child tax credit, child benefit and child maintenance. Can I not use any other money coming in.

It means the difference between paying £25 and £10.

Regards

Nappy501
