A. Yes. However, you can cover as many adult family members as you like with their own plans as long as it is reasonable to assume you are likely to be responsible for their final expenses.

A. The Funeral Protection Promis is designed to be straightforward but with a few choices. We are unable to provide you with advice, we will however explain the options available to you to enable you to make an informed decision. Call 0800 907 0796 and we will talk you through your options.

A. The Over 50’s Life Insurance Promis is designed to be straightforward but with a few choices. We are unable to provide you with advice, we will however explain the options available to you to enable you to make an informed decision. Call 0800 907 0798 and we will talk you through your options.

A. Our two different premium options are as follows:

Level Premium – This may be a suitable option if you want to lock in your rate from the start. Premiums are more expensive at the start (compared with Increasing Premiums) but are guaranteed not to go up throughout the life of the Plan (unless you choose Inflation Fighter).

Increasing Premium – This may be a suitable option if you want the lowest possible starting premium. Premiums are cheaper at the start (compared to Level Premiums) but go up by 3% every year (without Inflation Fighter). You can switch to a Level Premium at a later date if you wish but this could impact your premium or amount of cover.

A. Over time, the cost of things, including funerals, rise due to inflation. If your amount of cover remains fixed, it may not meet the cost of a funeral in the future or have enough left over as a gift to loved ones. So we offer an optional “Inflation Fighter” feature to help protect your cover amount against the rising cost of funerals.

If selected, Inflation Fighter increases your amount of cover by a fixed 3% each year until you reach age 90.

If you have chosen Level Premiums and Inflation Fighter, your premium will increase by 4.5% each year because you are getting more cover each year. If you have chosen Increasing Premiums and Inflation Fighter, your premium will increase by 7.5% each year.

If you would like a premium that remains level and never goes up, you should choose Level Premium without Inflation Fighter.

A. No, Inflation Fighter will help protect your cover amount against the effects of inflation but it does not guarantee that your funeral costs will be covered.

A. You can reduce your level of cover at any time and you can increase your cover any time before your 80th birthday, between £1,000 and £20,000. You may need to review and update your overall cover amount periodically to ensure it remains adequate for your needs. Any increase in cover will have a new Accidental Death Period applied to the additional incremental amount.

Regardless of how many Promis Life guaranteed acceptance products you take out, the total cover amount for each life insured cannot exceed £20,000 (not including Inflation Fighter increases).

A. To make a claim, your loved one can call us on 0800 907 0796 about a Funeral Protection Promis claim, or 0800 907 0798 about an Over 50s Life Insurance Promis claim and one of our claims specialists will gently, but professionally talk through everything that’s needed. This is the time for us to really help, so that is exactly what we will do.

We’ll need the completed claim form, proof of the claimant's identity e.g. a certified copy of their current passport or photocard driver's licence and, if they have it, the original plan schedule is really helpful.

If there is no joint owner of the plan, then the claimant can send a certified copy of the Grant of Representation and/or Last Will and Testament if either exist.

A. We guarantee that once all correctly completed documentation is back with us and we agree the claim is valid, the payment will be made within 48 hours (2 business days). If for any reason this doesn't happen, we’ll add an extra £250 to the payout.

A. It’s best to leave your Plan details with a trusted family member or close friend. If you have a family member that you would like to own the Plan with you, you can elect that at purchase, and they will receive a copy of the plan Terms & Conditions to help them when they need to claim. If you add a family member on your plan (as a co-owner) they are owners of the plan, you will need their consent in order to remove them if you change your mind in the future.

A. Because we offer guaranteed acceptance without the need for any medical tests or health questions, there is an initial period of 12 or 24 months (it’s your choice) where you are only covered for death caused by an accident. We call this the Accidental Death Period.

If a claim is made for a non-accidental death during the Accidental Death Period, we’ll pay a full refund of all premiums. However, after the Accidental Death Period you’re covered for any cause of death, including accident, illness or natural causes.

A. Accidental Death means a death directly caused from suffering accidental bodily injury from an external, violent and visible event which occurs whilst covered by the Plan. The death must not be attributable to a medical condition of the Life Insured and must have occurred within 90 days of the accident.

A. If any of your details change, inform us as soon as possible and we’ll update your Plan with the correct details.

A. Cover ends upon the death of the person insured under the Plan, or if you decide to cancel the Plan, or if the Insurer cancels the Plan due to non-payment of premiums.

A. Premiums must be paid when due and continue up to age 90, after which there is no more to pay. Depending on how long you live, the total premiums you pay over time may be more than your cover amount.

A. Once a claim is approved by Us, We will pay the Claim Amount as a cash sum into the UK bank account to the second Plan Owner named on the Plan Schedule. If there is no second Plan Owner, we will pay the proceeds to the person legally entitled to receive it. This could be a husband, wife or civil partner / son or daughter / parents / brother or sister.

A. No. This is an insurance policy and has no cash value at any time. If you cancel the plan after the first 30 days you will not get any premiums back and you will no longer be covered by the plan.

A. No. This is an insurance policy and has no cash value at any time. If you cancel the plan after the first 30 days you will not get any premiums back and you will no longer be covered by the plan. The Over 50’s Life Insurance Promis is not a savings plan.

A. Yes, depending on how long you live you could end up paying more in premiums than the amount of cover on the policy.
