58-year-old Dave was rushed to hospital with severe chest pain. He had angioplasty (surgery that restores normal blood flow through a clogged artery), but continued to have ongoing pain despite his treatment.
Normally, Dave could have expected to be back at work within weeks following his surgery, but his recovery was not as quick as he’d hoped. Ten months following his first hospitalisation, he was still unwell and unlikely to be able to return to his construction job in the near future.
While all this was going on, Dave’s Income Protection Cover helped with mortgage payments and living expenses for his family, which allowed Dave to focus on his recovery.
