Skandia ProtectSkandia Protect is a flexible protection plan which allows you to tailor your insurance for your needs. You choose any combination of life cover or critical illness cover or both. You also choose how long you want the cover for. You can choose a fixed term (for example, to provide protection when your children are growing up), rolling term (renewable ten-year cover that can last indefinitely) or whole life (cover for the rest of your life). BenefitsThe policy can pay:
Flexibility to change your cover as your lifestyle changes, without further medical evidence. Extended cover, to include, at an extra cost:
*not available for guaranteed whole life cover. Cover for you and your partner in one plan, either as separate policies or jointly. Guaranteed premiums, either for as long as your cover lasts, until you change the amount of cover, or for ten years at a time if sooner (see 'rolling term'). Critical illness benefitsSkandia Protect includes several benefits not available with most critical illness cover.
RisksSkandia Protect provides insurance only. It does not have a cash value or a surrender value at any time. So, if you stop paying premiums, your cover will stop. If you make a claim and you don't provide us with the information we ask for, we will not pay out. Certain conditions may be excluded from cover. Who is eligible to take out Skandia Protect?UK residents. Any person covered under the policy must also be UK resident. Minimum and maximum ages
Maximum age at the end of the plan For a fixed term the maximum age at the end of the term is 100 for life cover or 70 for critical illness cover. Minimum premiums Minimum monthly premium: £25 Minimum cover limitThere is a minimum cover limit of £1,000 for each policy in the plan. TermFixed term gives insurance for a specific number of years (whole years only). For life cover, the term must be between five and 35 years. For critical illness cover, the term must be between five and 25 years. Rolling term gives guaranteed insurance for life with an initial term of ten years. Just before the end of the term, you can renew the insurance ('roll the term') for a further ten years. You can 'roll' the term as often as you like without the need for further medical evidence. Rolling term is available for life cover and critical illness cover. Whole life cover gives you guaranteed insurance for life, and is available for life cover. GuaranteesFixed term – Skandia guarantees not to increase premiums unless you change your cover. Rolling term – Skandia guarantees premiums for ten years at a time. When you 'roll' the term at the end of the ten-year period, or when you increase your cover, Skandia will tell you how much your premium will be for the next ten years. Whole life for life cover – the premium for your selected cover is guaranteed for life, unless you change your cover.
