Lifesearch, one of the leading specialist life insurance and protection brokers in the UK, has listed a top ten or unusual policy benefits that most customers looking for a life insurance policy probably wouldnt even know about. Above and beyond life assurance and critical illness insurance, the insurance company reported, many specialist policies exist.
These include carer benefits on income protection, from Royal Liver, for parents who want to take time out from work to care for their child. Smoothmove, by Legal and General, is a rescue service for those taking out mortgage policies. Helping Hand by Bright Grey supports clients and families. Childrens Income benefit, by Scottish Provident, lets parents stop work to care for their child.
Other top insurance policies mentioned included Healthy Steps by Liverpool Victoria, an interactive online service to reduce risks, and Best Doctors by Bupa, whereby policyholders can get access to the best specialists possible.
A policy adviser at LifeSearch, Matt Morris, reportedly commented: "There are many excellent and unique benefits available to customers that deserve to be more widely known. Its important that price is not the only consideration when buying protection. These policy features could really make a difference to peoples lives and hopefully more customers will start to take advantage of them in the future."
