What is it?

Survivor’s income cover can be taken out by itself or combined with other insurance like Life cover. If taken together, they give a powerful combination of a lump-sum cash payment and ongoing income.

Why should you get it?

Every family has plans – and your family can keep going with these plans if they have support for things like the mortgage, debts and expenses. It’s flexible too. If you get married or have a baby for example, you could increase the value of your cover any time before the age of 55 without needing to give us medical evidence. (check out the Survivors income info sheet for details as there are a few conditions).

Alternatively, you can increase your cover at any time up to age 75, but we may need to do health and financial checks.)

What’s the deal?

You pay an amount of money (called a ‘premium’) for a policy. The policy is a contract so you know exactly what we’ll pay out for. As long as you keep paying for your insurance with us, and the policy terms and conditions have been met, we’ll pay out for everything we agreed.

Anything else?

You can apply to have the insurance paid out early if you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness (generally meaning you would have less than 12 months left to live).
