What is a premium holiday?
Customers tell us that sometimes financial hardship means they have to think about cancelling their policy.
For this reason we offer a Premium Holiday Benefit to those suffering financial hardship. If you can’t reasonably afford your premiums, you can apply to us, and we may be able to put them on hold for a maximum of six months so you don’t have to cancel the policy while you get back on your feet. You do NOT need to pay us back. You must be under 65 years of age, and have had the policy in place for 2 years to qualify for this benefit.
To apply for the Premium Holiday Benefit please contact us.

Is it better to save or invest for my funeral?
If you have some savings or investments, you might consider the benefits of saving for your funeral instead of taking out an insurance policy. As with any insurance policy, depending on how long you have your cover in place, the premiums paid may exceed the cover amount payable. The advantage of Funeral Cover is that as soon as a policy is in place, you’ll be covered for death caused by an accident – no matter how much premium you’ve paid. After two years, you’ll also be covered if you die of a natural cause.

What is a Waiting Period?
The Waiting Period is a set period of time that starts from the day you become sick or injured and are Unable to Work. If your claim is accepted your first benefit is payable from the end of the Waiting Period.
We will assess your claim during the Waiting Period so it is important you tell us about your disability as soon as it happens, not at the end of the Waiting Period.
Your Waiting Period is shown on your Policy Summary.
