    The price depends on the following: monthly benefit, age, occupation, existing conditions, deferred period (and a few others). what are his details on what do you consider "expensive" to be?

    Thats quite low for a 56 year old. Although if its class 1 occupation then it could be. Although it could be that its a PPI version of income protection rather than the better quality PHI version.

    That doesnt seem like a bad premium for the cover based on your husbands age.

    If you will struggle with the premiums why not look to extend the deferred period or reduce the sum assured a bit to cover whats needed only?
