Decreasing and level cover explained

Decreasing cover runs for a fixed time, with the level of cover reducing each month for as long as the policy lasts. It’s used to cover a repayment (capital and interest) mortgage and should be sufficient to clear the debt as long as all mortgage repayments are made. The monthly payments, known as premiums, remain the same.

Level cover runs for a fixed time with the level of cover and premium staying the same for the life of the policy. It is commonly used to protect an interest only mortgage.

If you want to apply for level life or critical illness cover, you can do this with one of our branch advisers.

Things to consider

Before you apply, make sure you're aware of the eligibility conditions, which can be found in the policy summary.
Your cover will end when a claim for the main benefit is paid, at the end of your policy's term, or if you stop paying premiums or cancel the policy. You won’t get the money back that you’ve paid.
A full list of critical illnesses that are covered can be found in the critical illness plan policy summary and policy conditions in the important documents section.
To make a claim for critical illness, you'll need to meet the policy definition. This might mean that you’ll need to have permanent symptoms, an illness of a specified severity or require surgery.

How can we help you?

Policy in trust

You can put your life insurance policy in trust.

The lump sum paid out on death is currently free from income and capital gains tax. Your policy may be subject to inheritance tax unless you put it in a suitable trust.

If you're unsure on whether you should put your policy in trust you should seek specialist legal advice. Tax rules may change in the future.
