AVIVA is the correct answer because it is a CGI UK accredited insurer for Income Protection Insurance. This means that AVIVA has met the necessary criteria and standards set by CGI UK to provide income protection insurance to its customers.

The correct answer is PHI Acceptance Letter. This letter is sent to a member to inform them that their claim for Income Protection Insurance has been formally accepted by the insurers. It provides details such as the commencement date of the benefit and the maximum annual payable amount to the member. This letter serves as confirmation to the member that their claim has been approved and they will start receiving the benefits as stated.

Lifestyle changes refer to any events related to one's way of living that are acknowledged within the scheme, such as getting married or having a child. These events are considered significant milestones that can impact a person's lifestyle and may require adjustments in various aspects of their life.

Income Protection Invoices are monthly invoices that are sent to all members who have been accepted under the income protection insurance. These invoices detail the payment for the income protection coverage and serve as a record of the monthly payments made by the insured individuals. This helps both the insurance company and the insured to keep track of the payments and ensure that the income protection coverage remains active.

Income protection claims will be processed in the normal way by the HR Manager.

Members have the option to increase their Income Protection Insurance cover from 66.67% to 75% through the Member Flexible Benefits Page. This suggests that the statement is true.

Income Protection Insurance is the correct answer because it is the insurance benefit received by the members once accepted by the insurer, typically covering 66.67% of their reference salary. This type of insurance provides financial protection to individuals in the event of illness, injury, or disability that prevents them from working and earning income. It ensures that policyholders can still receive a portion of their salary to cover living expenses and maintain their standard of living during the period of inability to work.

The statement is true because Income Protection Insurance provides insurance benefits to members who have been continuously ill for 6 months or are on long-term sickness. These benefits are provided in the form of disability coverage, but only if the insurer accepts the claim.

To qualify for the Income protection flexible benefit, members must be actively at work, meaning they must be performing their regular office hours and duties at their usual work location. This requirement ensures that individuals are actively engaged in their job and not on sick leave or working part-time. Being actively at work indicates that the member is physically and mentally capable of fulfilling their job responsibilities, making them eligible for the income protection benefit.

Car allowance refers to a specific amount of money provided to an employee to cover the expenses related to using their own car for work purposes. As income protection is designed to replace a portion of an individual's income if they are unable to work due to illness or injury, it is reasonable to assume that the car allowance, being a form of income, would cease in such circumstances. Therefore, the car allowance will always cease upon the effect of income protection.

When an employee's income protection takes effect, it means that they are no longer able to work due to illness or injury and are receiving a portion of their income as compensation. In this situation, if the employee's car allowance is not ceased or stopped, there is a risk of overpayment. This is because the employee is no longer working and therefore should not be receiving the car allowance. Advising the UK payroll about the cessation of the car allowance ensures that the employee does not receive any unnecessary payments, preventing any potential overpayment.
