    Does this also go for Stand alone insurance, such as Pinnacle as well then, as they also rised as well?

    At the moment it appears to be budget income protection (PPI) and MPPI plans where the premiums increased. Not full income protection (PHI) plans though as they neither go up or down and are guaranteed.

    News is still a bit thin on the ground though as to clarifying if it is all plans though.

    We have income protection but not linked to the mortgage but they have put up the premium. I take it that this is nothing to do with it then either. Its just an income one..:confused:.

    I would suspect they are included as they had virtually the same conditions. The only difference was the lack of linking to a mortgage.

    Think ours went up an extra £4.50 a month something like that.

    Ok thanks for that. I think it went up by something like £10 a month and we have never had to claim on it ever and we have never defaulted on it either. Also we have never changed the amount of income protection. I will just have to read up a little more then and see.
