Bupa has relaunched its income protection (IP) in a bid to meet consumer demand.
The revised plan includes benefits such as providing cover up to the age of 70 to co-operate with age discrimination legislation.
It also features a carers' benefit so that if a policyholder's dependent suffers from a condition covered by the plan, the policyholder will receive a lump sum benefit which may contribute towards their care.
A two year limited benefit period will also come in to effect which will reduce premiums. Benefits may be paid out for up to a maximum of two years following a claim.
Applications can be submitted online via the recently launched extranet.
Steve Casey, product and marketing manager at Bupa Individual Protection, said that the enhanced offering was available to intermediaries, both online and on paper from the beginning of March.
