WORKING HARDER TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER

Issue 49   January 2007

Increased Financial Underwriting Limits
Allowing you to potentially put more policies on risk sooner

With effect from 25 January 2007 we will be increasing our financial underwriting limits. These changes will ensure we continue to have a competitive underwriting position in the large sum assured market.

The financial evidence limits have been increased and evidence is now only required on:

  • Life applications where the sum assured is above £600,000 (for Family and Personal Income Plan the commuted lump sum value is used).
  • Critical Illness Cover (CIC) applications where the sum assured is above £350,000.
  •  Mortgage Payment Insurance (MPI) or Income Protection Benefit (IPB) where cover is above £3,000 per month.

For further details of evidence required above these limits please click here.

Benefits to you
As fewer applications will now require financial evidence this will result in:
·  a reduction in processing times
·  quicker underwriting decisions
·  the opportunity for you to put policies on risk sooner.

 

System and literature changes

These increased limits will take effect on Online Protection from 25 January 2007 and all affected literature will be updated in due course.
