Scottish Widows publishes 2011 claims stats @ 02:35 PM

Scottish Widows has published its delayed critical illness claims stats for 2011 showing it paid out 87% of total claims.

Of the 13 per cent of claims which were denied, 4 per cent were because of non-disclosure and 9 per cent because the definition had not been met.

Life Insurance that pays you an income @ 04:49 PM

Look out for a great value form of Life Insurance called Family Income Benefit. It sounds like a state benefit but it's actually just a Life Insurance policy that is paid out as a regular tax-free income instead of a lump sum.

It can be particularly suitable for financially protecting full time housewives/house husbands because benefit levels can be linked to the cost of alternative help. It can also be used for protecting school fees, maintenance payments or other regular outgoings.

It also tends to cost less than lump sum Life Cover! Feel free to call one of our LifeSearch advisers if you would like a bit more info. -- 0 comments: - Post your own comment
