I'm self employed and self-reliant.
How do I protect my future financial independence if I get sick, injured, or permanantly disabled and am no longer able to work?
Is there some kind of insurance I can do?
Or is something like saving and self insuring a better option?
A broker suggested a couple of policies but I have no way to assess the merits of them.
I think it's called Permanent health insurance which is a type of payment protection or a cash payout for specific injuries/illnesses and/or time spent in hospital.
Any point in the right direction appreciated.

Permanent Health Insurance (PHI) is the best form of income protection.A broker suggested a couple of policies but I have no way to assess the merits of them.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).

How can i tell if a broker is a "IFA or whole of market protection adviser" or not?
An IFA will tell you they are an IFA. Their documentation will have IFA on it. And their initial disclosure forms (a mandatory issue at the start) will state whether they are restricted (FA) or independent (IFA).
Whole of market protection advisers are not IFAs but would be similar except they focus on the protection rather than all areas.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).
