GUARANTEES PAYMENT OF YOUR ELECTRICITY AND GAS BILLS
With the Payment Protection Plus insurance we help you pay your electricity and gas bills in difficult times, such as:
Death from any cause | ¤1,980 |
Permanent and absolute disability | ¤1,980 |
Temporary disability | ¤165 for each complete period of 30 days of absolute temporary disability with a maximum of 12 consecutive months per event or up to 18 accumulated months per Insured Party for different events. |
The amount of the compensation will be used by Iberdrola to create a credit in the electricity and/or natural gas supply contract associated with the insurance policy, so you will pay nothing for your bills related to the insured contract until the compensation balance has been used up.
