How does critical illness differ from income protection?

The main difference center’s around what they cover and how they pay out. Critical Illness covers more serious conditions and pays out in one tax-free lump sum in the instance of injury or illness. Income Protection covers a different array of illnesses including some not covered by critical illness such as a bad back or depression.  This type of cover pays you a percentage of your monthly salary as a regular payment while you are injured or unwell to help bridge the gap until you are able to return to work.
