You will be able to choose the age that you will get the monthly payment until. Most people will choose it to be paid until their retirement age. You will also get the choice of how long you want to wait before you start receiving the payout. In some cases, people opt for a policy that starts paying out straight away or after a month and sometimes people choose to wait 6 months before they start receiving the payout in line with their company sick pay ending.
