On the 31st of July this year I celebrated my 30 year anniversary of qualifying as a Financial Adviser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this time I\u2019ve met literally hundreds of clients living with HIV \u2013 many of which have had poor experiences elsewhere \u2013 this may have been though their Bank, Building Society, Estate Agent, Mortgage Broker, Insurance Company or an Online Money Website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advising HIV Positive clients is something that I do literally \u201cWeek in and Week out\u201d, \u201cDay In and Day Out\u201d <\/strong>\u2013 making sure they are able to obtain the Life Insurance and Mortgage Life Insurance they need to protect their families and properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important that you take specialist professional advice because many of the \u201cInsurance Distribution\u201d routes mentioned are not totally friendly to people living with HIV and may lead you to a disappointing outcome. 50% of Insurers decline people living with HIV for Life Insurance<\/strong> or HIV Life Assurance<\/strong> – seek advice from a specialist financial adviser!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Morgan and Unusual Risks are specialists at advising HIV Positive applicants for Life Insurance \u2013 in this new extended series of \u201cDisclosures & Confidentiality\u201d articles I will be sharing \u201creal life case examples\u201d with you that have crossed my desk recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The subjects we will cover in the coming weeks are very real and will help you to protect your confidentiality and determine the necessary disclosures that will need to be made to insurers for you to obtain Life Insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is my specialist area of financial services and I look forward to sharing more with you over the coming weeks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article we look at protecting your confidentiality when applying for HIV Life Insurance & HIV Life Assurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life Insurance<\/strong> Co-Risk v Single Risk<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are able to assist those not just with HIV but other multiple (co-risk) medical conditions, where they have more than one significant medical condition \u2013 this group of people can find it difficult to obtain life insurance. Common Co-Risk conditions that we can insure include HIV along with Diabetes Type 1, Diabetes Type 2, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, along with a host of other medical conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HIV Life Cover – Case Example<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name: Amara, Occupation: Social Care Manager; Age 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amara contacted me after being declined by three insurance companies for Life Insurance due to her HIV status – she was looking to protect her family and make sure there is sufficient Life Insurance in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After several poor experiences we were able to offer advice on which Insurance Companies were HIV friendly and which are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We arranged for Amara’s policy be placed into trust for the benefit of her children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Declined Elsewhere<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I meet clients all the time that have poor experiences elsewhere either with their Bank, Building Society, Estate Agent, Mainstream Financial Adviser, Mortgage Broker or Online Comparison Websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our experience all of these just don\u2019t know enough about HIV \u2013 this can often result in poor underwriting outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We advise people to only share your HIV information with a financial adviser that specialises in advising people living with HIV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are aware that up to 50% of applications for HIV Positive people are still declined by the Insurance Industry. I\u2019m not sure why anyone would apply for Life Insurance without taking specialist financial advice? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We meet people in these situations on a regular basis and never presume that what has happened previously is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Product Features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are able to arrange Life Insurance for Mortgages, Family Protection and Business Loans and can access Life Insurance products that are fully inclusive for pre-existing conditions. We are now also offering longer term life insurance for clients up to 30 year term and for some longer \u2013 many people only have 10, 15 or 20 years remaining on their policies and we are currently extending policies for many people with shorter term cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
