** Terminal Illness cover is standard on life policies and simply means that if the life assured is diagnosed with a terminal illness (one from which you are expected to die within 12 months) then the policy will pay out immediately.
Insurance Type
Level Term
The amount of life cover will remain the same throughout the life of the policy. Suitable for people with Interest Only mortgages (where the amount of loan will remain the same over the term of the mortgage) and for family protection.
Decreasing Term
The amount of life cover will reduce inline with the outstanding debt on a repayment mortgage. Suitable for people who have a repayment mortgage where the loan is repaid gradually over the course of the mortgage term. The premium will remain the same throughout the term.
Family Income Benefit
This is similar to Level Term but instead pays out an annual amount until the end of the policy rather than a lump sum.
Benefit Type
Death benefit only
This policy will only payout upon death (including Terminal Illness cover**)
Critical Illness only
This policy will only payout upon diagnosis of a specified Critical Illness.
Death and Earlier Critical Illness
This policy would payout on the earlier of death or diagnosis of a specified Critical Illness. Once a successful claim is made the policy will cease.*

Sum Assured
This will be a lump sum for a Level or Decreasing policy or an annual amount for a Family Income Benefit policy.
Increasing Benefit
Choose this option if you would like the sum assured AND premium to increase annually in line with inflation.
Waiver of premium
This is an additional insurance for the premium itself and usually means that the policy premiums will be paid for you if you are off sick and unable to work for a period of more than 6 months.
Guaranteed / Reviewable
Reviewable policies have premiums which can alter at the review dates within the policy term (usually every 5 years). If you want to be certain that your premiums stay the same throughout the policy, choose Guaranteed.
