Is premium protection the same as PPI

Options
I have mortgage decreasing life insurance which started in 2001.
The plan summary says Premium protection is included. There is no mention of a separate payment for this. Is this the same as PPI and will there have been an extra charge incorporated into my premiums?

    No.

    No. it is not the same. However, it is an extra cost add on. It's generic name is waiver of premium (or waiver of contribution). It is regarded as best to advice to have it included. Although it is not as common today as it once was.

    Waiver of premium is not the same as PPI, although it is likely that the quoted premium with waiver would be higher than one without.

    Why do you ask?
  • Thanks. I just wondered if it was an optional addition to the policy that I didn't need to have and was never asked whether I wanted.
