HIV Life Assurance and HIV Life Insurance …

Average HIV Life Assurance Sum Assured and Policy Term …

Unusual Risks, the medical financial advisers have today published the results of their latest research into the average amounts of Life Assurance that HIV Positive men and women are insuring themselves for. Currently HIV Positive people who are taking out HIV Life Assurance in the UK are insuring themselves for an average of £134,130.

This latest survey was conducted as a follow up to a similar survey released around the same time last year where the average figure was £134,667. In addition to looking at sum assured this year’s survey has also established that the average term of a HIV Life Assurance policy is still only 10 years.

Unusual Risks have been approached by a number of HIV charities, right organisations and information providers with their concerns about the relatively short term of 10 years for HIV Life Assurance. Their recent survey has established that the average term of a HIV life Assurance is currently only 10 years.

However, some leading insurance providers are known to reduce the term on the policies they offer to only 5 years and buyers should beware of these policies and seek specialist advice before committing to this type of policy. Unusual Risks are committed to helping the HIV community find the fairest insurance premiums and terms on Life Insurance.

Hepatitis C Life Assurance and Hepatitis C Life Insurance …

This Sunday (28th of July) is World Hepatitis Day and to acknowledge this celebration day, we are publishing a recent Hepatitis C Insurance case that we have completed on behalf of a client (Michael) …

Michael Said, …

‘I’m currently buying a new property and taking a mortgage for £135,000 through the financial adviser at my bank. Everything was going fine until they asked me about Life Assurance and some awkward questions about my health and past drug use’.

‘They came back with a huge premium for the Life Assurance, siting my past heroin use as the reason for increasing the premium. They have made it clear that they require some form of Life Assurance in order to agree the mortgage, so I’ve decided to look elsewhere for a quotation’.

We arranged a Life Assurance policy with a sum assured of £135,000 for a premium of £17.83 per month to go alongside Michael’s mortgage. The last offer of insurance he had received was for a premium of over £50.00 per month from the previous financial adviser.

Unusual Risks always survey the whole of the market place for every client that approaches us. In Michaels case we established that over 60% of insurers would decline an application from someone who is Hepatitis C, with past heroin use logged on their medical records.
