What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Research based on a survey of over 2,000 UK adults found that only 16% of full-time workers hold an income protection policy. The report also noted that 39% of mortgage holders lacked such a policy. Consumers cited inflation and rising living costs as the biggest threat to their earnings, followed by an economic downturn.
