If you are looking to cover your mortgage debt or are you simply need life insurance to protect your family, then some form of term assurance is likely to meet your requirements.

Term assurance cover as the name suggests will cover you during a set period of cover, for example somebody with a £130000 mortgage over 20 years, would normally require £130000 life insurance over a 20- year term. As you can see life insurance UK does not need to be over complicated. Another scenario might be if you need cover to protect your family over a set term, for example until your children are non dependant.A simple way to work out how much life cover you need to protect your family, is to multiply your annual net income by the term required.

Many people in the UK struggle to get life insurance because of their health, their  high risk job or because of some hazardous hobby.

Unfortunately if you fall into any of the above categories, people find it difficult to get life cover from most high street life insurance companies. You have to understand that insurance companies underwrite all life assurance applications based on risk and if you have poor health, you are considered a bad risk, if you are in the army and on active duty your high risk and finally if your idea of a good time is rock climbing, scuba diving or swimming with sharks you are definitely high risk to an insurer.

So What Can You Do About It?

Well you can give up,but that’s not an option! As there are insurance companies that specialise in insuring those with poor health,as well as insurance companies that will consider high risk occupations and high risk pastimes.So please read on and see what is available to you.

I Have Poor Health Can I Get Life Insurance?

Well the answer to your question is there are specialist companies that deal only in life insurance for people with bad health. They will consider your application for life cover based on your medical history. They will write to your GP and may request a medical examination. Do not be worried by this as the medical is free and is normally carried out at your home or place of work. If nothing else you will get a free health check up! Please do not confuse this type of life insurance with the guaranteed life insurance you see advertised on the TV by a former chat show host, offering a free Parker pen. This type of cover does not normally pay out in the first 2 years and you might pay more in than you get back. Now I am not saying there is no need for this guaranteed life cover, but you must be aware of what is covered as well as when.A specialist insurer will consider your application and will underwrite it based on your personal circumstances.If they offer you terms,they will be clear and if you accept you will have life insurance from the start date,not  two years later.

I think in the first instance it is worthwhile trying  the high street life insurers, by that I mean the usual household insurance companies everyone has heard of and of course you can access them all here. After that try the specialist insurance company, before the guaranteed life cover companies. What do you have to lose? If you use this site Life Cover Search to request a quote for life insurance, you will be able to access all the major UK insurance companies as well a specialist advice from an Independent Financial Adviser who can guide you through your options including life companies that will consider all types of medical and health problems. Bear in mind that most life insurance companies will give you a decision on application. What I mean by this is if you apply for life insurance, the insurer will do one of three things, they will accept you at standard rates, they will accept you on special rates (higher premiums or lower sum assured) or they will decline you. These are the three outcomes, you can also use the medical data supplied by your GP and any medical reports that are still within date to apply to several insurance companies at one time, known in the industry as a multi-application. This can save time as all he insurers can use the existing data to underwrite your application.

So if you do have a health issue, or have a high risk job or hobby please do not let it put you off applying for life insurance. There are options available for most cases.

It is important that you fully understand the difference between family income benefit insurance and the more well know term assurance.Firstly lets look at the difference between the two types of life insurance.Term assurance will normally pay out a lump during the term of the policy,whereas family income benefit will pay out an income equal to the remaining term of the policy.The best way to illustrate this is to give an example.Mr Smith takes out a £250000 level term assurance policy over 20 years to protect his family,as he has young children.Mr Brown on the other hand takes out family income benefit insurance  of £20000 per annum over same term of 20 years to protect his young family as well.If you need more information on types of cover have a look at our types of cover page

However whilst £20000 per year adds up to £400000 of life cover should  Mr Brown die in the first year,if he dies in year 18 the family income benefit would only pay out £40000 over the remaining 2 years of the policy.If Mr Smith died in year 1 or year 18,his dependents would get £250000 no matter when he died with in the policy term.

So you can see clearly that in reality Family income benefit insurance is a type of decreasing term assurance by another name.So why would people buy family income benefit? The answer is cost,as with any decreasing term assurance,the cost is usually less than level term assurance,which maintains level cover throughout the term of the policy.So now you should have a clear idea of the difference between family income benefit insurance and level term assurance.It really depends on your budget and your needs and there is a place for family income benefit insurance,however it is always best to compare the costs against level term life cover.

Simply put waiver of premium is designed to pay your life insurance premiums if you become ill or sick.So for example you have a £15 per month life policy and fall ill,the insurance company will continue to pay your life policy premium. Most insurers will pick up the tab for your policy after 26 weeks of incapacity.Depending on the provider there are various restrictions applied if you have a high risk occupation or if you have pre existing medical issues.

Not everyone will be eligible for waiver of premium,but it is worthwhile exploring further as the cost is usually a minimal addition to the cost of the life insurance,if you are in low risk occupation the cost of waiver of premium can be pennies.

Many people will not be familiar with the term medical limits as it is normally used by the insurer or the adviser, when considering an application for life cover. Insurance companies all have different medical limitations and they can vary greatly from insurer to insurer. For example one insurance company may automatically require a medical if a client is over 60 and requires £100000 or more of life cover, where another insurer may have higher medical limits for a client this age and therefore not require an automatic medical.

Now whilst insurance companies have varying levels of medical limits, they will all still underwrite every life or critical illness application on an individual basis. This means that medical limits do not mean if you do not require an automatic medical, you will be accepted immediately, you will still be fully underwritten based on your health,sex (for now) height, weight and so on.

While medical limits are useful, if you need to speed up life cover applications, in truth the majority of people will not be affected by medical limits, as most will be well within the insurers range. In most cases medical limits come into play when the sum assured is very high or the client is older and require a relatively high sum assured in relation to their age.

The increase in medical limits by Legal and General is welcome and will be of help to certain clients. However most people requiring life insurance for their mortgage or to protect their family will not really be affected.
