Case Studies

Client: Female
Age: 44
Smoker status: Non-smoker
Medical condition: Chronic fatigue syndrome & Fibromyalgia
Cover date: 25th June 2019
Product type: Life insurance and critical illness cover
Cover amount: £20,000
Cover term: 25 years
Premium: £17.28

We were approached by this lady on the 15th May 2019 when she was referred to us by an Independent Financial Advisor (IFA) who was struggling to find her cover. This happens quite regularly as some IFAs struggle to find mainstream protection for their clients, therefore they ask us to help. Our advisor Sam P then get in contact with the lady to discuss her medical issues and her life insurance needs. At this point she disclosed that she has previously suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome and Fibromyalgia, and was looking for £20,000 Life & Critical Illness over a 25-year period to cover her mortgage. Sam P then did some research and found the cover she wanted with one of our mainstream providers for £20,000 over 25 years for just £17.28 per month on the 25th June 2019. This is an amazing premium considering her medical history and the fact that Critical Illness costs considerably more than just life cover on its own. There was a slight delay between her initial enquiry and her policy being completed due to the fact that the lady was busy and had a lot of different things to do before she could sort her life insurance out. However, Sam P finally secured her cover, so she now has peace of mind.

Overall this is an amazing result as it can be difficult to find Critical Illness for someone who has had chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, and the lady now has the protection that she was previously lacking. We love finding protection for people who have previously struggled as we want to help people get the peace of mind that they deserve.
