Yes.  In addition, we take responsibility before the Ombudsman for that advice.  We have put our money where our mouth is.  You are better off talking to an adviser but this site is aimed at the huge tribe who will never do that.”

Swiss RE’s Annual Term and Health Watch Report

In its annual term and health watch report on the UK protection market, Swiss Re found the number of PHI Insurance policies sold last year increased by 13.5 per cent to 126, 815 from 111,780 in 2007.  But policies sold by IFAs dipped by 5 per cent from 61,455 to 58,350. New whole life business also increased by 28.8 per cent from 219,362 policies in 2007 to 282,438 policies in 2008, making it the highest level since 2000.

Swiss Re life and health technical manager Ron Wheatcroft says despite the increases, the £2.3trn protection gap still stands.

Se says: “Various industry initiatives are now, at last, beginning to get off the ground, but to improve consumer understanding of our services and products, these initiatives need to pull in the same direction.”

Master Adviser IFA Roy McLoughlin says:  “The increase in IP is incredibly positive and I would imagine it is related to increased awareness among advisers.  The 4.7 per cent drop in CI sales might have something to do with cost and the fact that advisers realise that, out of the two products, IP is arguably the more important product for clients.”

Critical Illness Review – Aviva Group Critical Illness Cover

Aviva’s group critical-illness insurance cover can be offered by businesses with at least five employees as a standalone plan or as part of a complete life insurance benefits package.

The plan has two levels of cover and there is no need for medical underwriting for your life insurance quote as pre-existing conditions are excluded.  Premiums can be calculated on a single-priced basis, where premiums are calculated for each member and recalculated each year to rise in line with members’ ages.  Alternatively premiums can be unit-priced, with a flat rate for all members based on a total of all the benefits for every member and the number of members.

Highclere Financial Services partner Alan Lakey says, “The extended version includes conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, coronary angioplasty and emphysema which are not available within Aviva’s individual product.  Previously, Aviva described these conditions as unworthy of inclusion and argued that they are already covered within other definitions such as heart attack and permanent and total disability,” he says.

Turning to potential drawbacks, Lakey says, “The plan has no medical underwriting as all pre-existing conditions are excluded, which is both good or bad.”  He explains it is good, as it makes for an easier process but it is bad as it will reduce payouts.
