Case study

We were recently approached by a 65 year old gentleman who already had life insurance protection in place. His cover had another 10 years to run before it’s expiry date, when he is 75 years old. Our client said he wanted to review his cover, as he wanted to make sure a lump sum would pay out to his wife, if he was to pass away after the age of 75.

Since taking out his current policy he has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes which is well controlled with medication. In the past, this would have meant that the insurance company would write to his GP to get additional medical information, before making a decision. Even if it was well controlled, the insurer was still likely impose a premium increase (otherwise known as a loading).

At Future Proof, we have access to a brand new product with one of the major providers. This means we can help clients get an imediate offer cover straight away once an application is submitted. The benefit?  No need for further evidence from the GP, all that is required is the clients latest diabetic reading.

The good news!

Mr D was keen to get the cover in place without any unnecessary delay and was very happy to make an application. The application was accepted straight away and we were able to secure a new policy for him which will provide cover until he reaches the age of 90 with a sum assured of £50,000 on standard premium of only £64.20 per month.

Please note that any premiums mentioned are indicative only and based on this specific case study/ example, which is shown for information purposes only. Your own circumstances will determine whether the amount payable is more or less than the figure quoted.
