“Things Have Changed – Part Three” … Commentary by Chris Morgan
What can I do if I’m Living With HIV and have been declined for Life Insurance before?
Throughout my career I have met literally hundreds of people living with HIV, who have been declined for Life Insurance by either their High Street Bank or a Life Insurance Company. Currently we are aware that a minimum of 56% of applications are being declined, many without any reasonable explanations given to applicants.
We actually believe that the overall figure is more likely to be 70% at this moment in time, which means I’m meeting many people who have been affected by decisions like these every week. The most important part of my job is to relieve any stress and anxiety this may have caused for my client and then represent them in successfully finding Life Insurance cover.
Unusual Risks have been working extremely hard following the pandemic to create new opportunities for all people living with HIV, who may have been declined for cover in the past. We have a very high success rate of finding cover for people who have been declined for cover elsewhere.
Case Example, David, Age 38, Software Developer … HIV & Hepatitis B
David approached us for Life Insurance after being declined by his High Street Bank and also a major Life Insurance Company. The reason they rejected his application was because he had a historic diagnosis of Hepatitis B on his medical record. We were able to assist David and introduced him to a more “friendly insurer”.
Even if you were declined for cover by an insurer in the past this does not mean that your are uninsurable forever. We are now able to insurer people with HIV who have also been diagnosed in the past with Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Tuberculosis, Pneumonia, STIs, Syphilis, Anemia and many other medical conditions.
If You Have Been Declined For Cover By Your Bank or Financial Adviser ? Things have changed and we can help !
Following the pandemic we have been more determined than ever to make sure that everyone is able to access some form of Life Insurance. We believe it is a basic human right for people, to protect their mortgages, debts and families.
We have encountered many people who have been adversely affected by the decisions of Life Insurance companies. We believe more than ever in “Life Insurance for All” and are able to guarantee access to some form of Life Insurance for everyone aged between 18-64.
