Partial payouts on critical illness claims

Norwich Union supports the Friends Provident move to pay out a proportion of all claims that may otherwise have been turned down due to unrelated non-disclosure.

 

The insurer says it has adopted a similar policy for a number of years - assessing unrelated non-disclosure claims on a case-by-case basis.

 

But it stresses people need to disclose their medical history as fully and accurately as possible when applying for critical illness cover or life insurance to ensure they have a policy which pays out in full.
