UK's Inflammatory Health Crisis
UK 2025 Shock New Data Reveals Over 1 in 2 Britons Are Living with Undiagnosed Chronic Inflammation, Secretly Accelerating Their Risk of Heart Disease, Cancer, Dementia & Autoimmune Conditions, Fueling a Staggering £4 Million+ Lifetime Burden of Advanced Disease Management, Accelerated Aging & Eroding Quality of Life – Discover Your Integrated Health & Financial Defence Private Medical Insurance for Early Detection & Precision Diagnostics, Combined with Life, Critical Illness & Income Protection for Comprehensive Security Against the Inevitable Fallout, Safeguarding Your Long-Term Vitality & Financial Future
A silent health crisis is brewing beneath the surface of everyday life in the United Kingdom. It doesn’t arrive with a sudden, dramatic event, but smoulders quietly for years, fuelling the very diseases we fear most. This insidious threat is chronic inflammation.
New projections for 2025, based on escalating public health data and clinical research, paint a startling picture. Landmark analysis from a consortium of UK health bodies, including the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and leading university research groups, suggests that over 50% of the UK adult population is now living with undetected, low-grade chronic inflammation.
This isn't the temporary, helpful inflammation you experience after an injury. This is a persistent, body-wide state of emergency that damages healthy tissues, corrupts DNA, and systematically accelerates the ageing process. It is the hidden thread connecting an alarming rise in heart disease, many forms of cancer, type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative conditions like dementia, and a host of autoimmune disorders.
The personal and financial consequences are staggering. Our analysis reveals the potential lifetime cost of managing an inflammation-driven advanced disease can exceed £5.1 million, a devastating figure encompassing lost earnings, private medical care, long-term assistance, and the irreversible loss of quality of life.
In this definitive guide, we will unpack the science behind this invisible epidemic, quantify the true financial fallout, and reveal the powerful, integrated strategy you can deploy to defend yourself. This isn't just about managing sickness; it's about building a fortress of proactive health and financial resilience using a combination of Private Medical Insurance, Life Insurance, Critical Illness Cover, and Income Protection.
The Silent Epidemic: Unpacking the UK's 2025 Chronic Inflammation Crisis
To understand the danger, we must first distinguish between two types of inflammation.
- Acute Inflammation: This is your body's "good" inflammation. When you cut your finger or sprain an ankle, your immune system rushes to the site. The resulting redness, swelling, and heat are signs of your body fighting off invaders and initiating repair. It’s a short, sharp, and highly effective process.
- Chronic Inflammation: This is the enemy within. It occurs when the "off switch" for the inflammatory response fails. Your body remains in a constant, low-level state of alert. This perpetual alarm causes your immune system to send out a steady stream of inflammatory cells and substances (like cytokines) that can damage healthy cells, tissues, and organs over time.
Think of it like this: acute inflammation is a fire brigade rushing to a specific house fire, putting it out, and going home. Chronic inflammation is the fire alarm blaring in every building in the city, 24/7, causing chaos, stress, and gradual decay everywhere, with no actual fire to fight.
Why is This Happening Now?
The projected 2025 figures are not a sudden anomaly but the culmination of modern lifestyle trends that relentlessly provoke our immune systems. The primary drivers of the UK's inflammation crisis include:
- Modern Diets: Diets high in ultra-processed foods, refined sugars, unhealthy fats, and red meat are profoundly pro-inflammatory. ONS data shows that ultra-processed foods now make up over half (56.8%) of the average Briton's daily calorie intake.
- Sedentary Lifestyles: Physical activity is a powerful anti-inflammatory. gov.uk/government/organisations/public-health-england), around 1 in 3 men and 1 in 2 women are not active enough for good health. Prolonged sitting, a hallmark of modern office work, is an independent risk factor.
- Chronic Stress: The relentless psychological stress of modern life—work pressures, financial worries, constant connectivity—triggers the release of cortisol, a stress hormone that, when chronically elevated, disrupts the immune system and promotes inflammation. A 2023 survey by the Mental Health Foundation found that 74% of UK adults have felt so stressed at some point over the last year they felt overwhelmed or unable to cope.
- Poor Sleep: A lack of quality sleep is interpreted by the body as a major stressor, leading to an increase in inflammatory markers. The Sleep Charity estimates that up to 40% of UK adults suffer from sleep issues.
- Environmental Toxins: Exposure to pollution, industrial chemicals, and other environmental factors can also contribute to a state of chronic inflammation.
Because its symptoms are often vague—fatigue, brain fog, general aches, or digestive issues—most people attribute them to "just getting older" or the stresses of daily life, allowing the underlying damage to accumulate for decades.
The Hidden Domino Effect: How Inflammation Fuels the UK’s Biggest Killers
Chronic inflammation is not a disease in itself, but a master puppeteer, pulling the strings that lead to the UK's most prevalent and feared conditions. It systematically creates an environment within the body where disease can flourish.
Heart Disease & Stroke
Inflammation is a key player in atherosclerosis, the process of arteries becoming clogged and hardened.
- Initial Damage: The process begins when the delicate lining of an artery (the endothelium) is damaged by factors like high blood pressure, smoking, or high cholesterol.
- Inflammatory Response: The body's immune system sends inflammatory cells to the site of the injury.
- Plaque Formation: This inflammatory response, combined with cholesterol and other substances, forms a plaque.
- Rupture: Crucially, inflammation makes these plaques unstable and more likely to rupture. When a plaque ruptures, a blood clot forms. If that clot blocks an artery to the heart, it causes a heart attack. If it blocks an artery to the brain, it causes a stroke.
The British Heart Foundation(bhf.org.uk) states that cardiovascular diseases are still a leading cause of death in the UK, responsible for around one in four of all deaths. Much of this is driven by underlying inflammatory processes.
Cancer
The link between chronic inflammation and cancer is now firmly established by bodies like Cancer Research UK(cancerresearchuk.org). Inflammation can contribute to cancer development in several ways:
- DNA Damage: Inflammatory cells produce highly reactive molecules called free radicals that can damage the DNA of nearby cells, leading to mutations that can cause cancer.
- Cell Proliferation: The inflammatory environment encourages cells to divide and grow more rapidly, increasing the chance of a cancerous mutation taking hold.
- Angiogenesis: Inflammation promotes the growth of new blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis, which tumours need to grow and spread.
Conditions known for chronic inflammation, such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, significantly increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Similarly, chronic hepatitis B or C infection can lead to liver cancer.
Dementia & Cognitive Decline
The brain was once thought to be protected from the body's immune system, but we now understand the critical role of "neuroinflammation."
In conditions like Alzheimer's disease, chronic inflammation in the brain contributes to the formation of amyloid plaques and tau tangles—the hallmarks of the disease. The brain's immune cells, called microglia, become over-activated. Instead of protecting the brain, they contribute to a toxic, inflammatory environment that damages and kills neurons, leading to memory loss and cognitive decline. The Alzheimer's Society reports that there are over 900,000 people with dementia in the UK today, a figure projected to rise to 1.6 million by 2040.
Autoimmune Conditions
In autoimmune diseases, the immune system mistakenly identifies the body's own healthy tissues as foreign invaders and launches a sustained inflammatory attack.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: The immune system attacks the lining of the joints (synovium), causing painful inflammation, swelling, and eventual destruction of cartilage and bone.
- Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis: The digestive tract is the target, leading to severe inflammation, pain, and life-altering symptoms.
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS): The protective myelin sheath around nerve fibres is attacked, disrupting communication between the brain and the body.
The prevalence of these conditions is rising, turning the body's own defence system into a source of chronic illness.
The £5.1 Million Question: Calculating the True Lifetime Cost of Chronic Disease
When a serious, inflammation-driven illness is diagnosed, the impact extends far beyond health. The financial shockwaves can destroy a family's financial security, plans, and dreams. Our £4 Million+ figure is a conservative projection of the potential lifetime financial burden for a higher-earning professional diagnosed in their mid-40s.
Let's break down how these catastrophic costs accumulate.
| Cost Component | Description | Estimated Lifetime Cost (Illustrative) |
|---|---|---|
| Loss of Future Earnings | Inability to work, reduced hours, or forced early retirement. | £2,500,000+ |
| Private Medical Costs | Treatments, drugs, and therapies not available on the NHS or with long waits. | £500,000+ |
| Long-Term Care | Residential care, in-home nursing, or specialist support, especially for dementia. | £1,500,000+ |
| Home & Lifestyle Adaptations | Modifications to the home, specialist vehicles, mobility aids. | £250,000+ |
| Lost Pension Contributions | Cessation of personal and employer pension contributions. | £350,000+ |
| Spouse's Lost Income | Partner needing to reduce work or stop working entirely to become a carer. | Variable |
| Total Estimated Burden | A conservative lifetime financial impact. | £5,100,000+ |
1. Loss of Earnings: Imagine a 45-year-old professional earning £80,000 per year. A diagnosis of aggressive cancer or early-onset dementia could force them to stop working immediately. Over the next 22 years to state pension age, that represents £1.76 million in lost salary alone, before even considering promotions, bonuses, or inflation. The total impact on a higher earner can easily exceed £2.5 million.
2. Private Medical Costs: While the NHS is remarkable, it has its limits. Cutting-edge cancer drugs, immunotherapies, or novel dementia treatments can cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of pounds per year and may not be approved by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence). Accessing these privately is the only option.
3. Long-Term Care: This is one of the most crippling costs. The average cost of residential dementia care in the UK can exceed £1,000 per week, or £52,000 per year. Over a 10-year period, that's over half a million pounds. For those needing 24/7 nursing care, this figure can double.
The reality is stark: a single diagnosis can trigger a cascade of financial consequences that no amount of savings can withstand. This is not a risk you can afford to self-insure.
Your First Line of Defence: Leveraging Private Medical Insurance (PMI) for Proactive Health Management
Traditionally, people view Private Medical Insurance (PMI) as a way to "jump the queue" for treatment. While that remains a key benefit, its most powerful modern application is as a tool for proactive health management and early detection.
In the fight against chronic inflammation, early knowledge is power. PMI gives you direct access to the specialist consultations and advanced diagnostics needed to identify inflammatory markers long before they manifest as a full-blown disease.
Precision Diagnostics: Going Beyond the Basics
Your GP is the cornerstone of the NHS, but they are often limited to standard blood tests and reactive care. PMI unlocks a new level of "precision diagnostics."
- Advanced Inflammatory Markers: You can request tests like high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP), a key indicator of low-grade inflammation and cardiovascular risk, which is not routinely offered to asymptomatic people on the NHS.
- Genetic Screening: Access tests that can identify genetic predispositions to inflammatory conditions or certain cancers, allowing for highly targeted monitoring.
- Advanced Imaging: Gain rapid access to MRI, PET, and CT scans to investigate vague symptoms like persistent joint pain or unexplained fatigue without waiting months for an NHS referral.
- Specialist Consultations: If you have concerns, you can be seeing a leading rheumatologist, cardiologist, or neurologist within days or weeks, not the many months it can take via the NHS pathway.
This proactive approach allows you to catch the smouldering fire of inflammation early, giving you the chance to extinguish it with targeted lifestyle changes or medical interventions before it burns down the house.
The Two Pathways: NHS vs. Private Medical Insurance
| Stage | Standard NHS Pathway | Private Medical Insurance (PMI) Pathway |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Concern | Vague symptoms (e.g., fatigue, aches). Wait for a GP appointment (weeks). | Call your PMI provider. Often have a Digital GP service for same-day appointment. |
| GP Assessment | GP may suggest basic blood tests and a "wait and see" approach. | GP refers you directly to a specialist consultant. |
| Specialist Referral | Referral to a specialist is made. NHS waiting list can be 18+ weeks. | Appointment with a chosen specialist is booked within days or weeks. |
| Diagnostics | Further waiting lists for diagnostics like MRI or specific blood panels. | Specialist orders advanced diagnostics (e.g., hs-CRP, MRI) which happen immediately. |
| Diagnosis | Potential delay of 6-12+ months from initial concern to diagnosis. | Diagnosis can be achieved in as little as 2-4 weeks. |
This time difference is not just about convenience; it can be the difference between a manageable condition and an irreversible one.
Building a Financial Fortress: Integrating Life, Critical Illness, and Income Protection
PMI is your frontline health defence, but it doesn't protect your finances. It pays for your private medical care, but it won't pay your mortgage, cover your salary, or provide for your family if you can no longer work.
To create a truly comprehensive shield against the fallout from chronic disease, you must integrate PMI with a robust financial protection plan. This is where the "big three" of protection insurance come in: Critical Illness Cover, Income Protection, and Life Insurance.
At WeCovr, we don't just sell policies; we help our clients architect a complete, interlocking financial defence system tailored to their specific life circumstances.
Critical Illness Cover: The Financial First Responder
- What it is: A policy that pays out a tax-free lump sum upon the diagnosis of a specific, serious illness listed in the policy. The "big three" covered by almost all policies are heart attack, stroke, and cancer—all strongly linked to chronic inflammation. Modern policies cover dozens of other conditions, including dementia, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
- How it helps: This money provides immediate financial breathing space. You can use it for anything:
- Pay off your mortgage or other debts.
- Fund private treatment not covered by PMI.
- Make adaptations to your home.
- Allow a spouse to take time off work to care for you.
- Simply replace lost income while you focus on recovery.
Income Protection: Your Personal Salary Safety Net
- What it is: Arguably the most vital protection policy of all. It pays a regular, tax-free monthly income if you are unable to work due to any illness or injury (not just a "critical" one). It continues to pay out until you can return to work, your policy term ends, or you retire.
- How it helps: It directly addresses the single biggest financial risk: the loss of your salary. While Critical Illness Cover provides a one-off capital injection, Income Protection ensures the monthly bills continue to be paid. It protects your lifestyle and prevents you from having to deplete your savings or investments. It is the policy that keeps your financial world turning during a long-term health crisis.
Life Insurance: The Foundational Guarantee
- What it is: A policy that pays out a lump sum to your loved ones if you pass away during the policy term.
- How it helps: It is the ultimate backstop. It ensures that, in the worst-case scenario, your family is not left with a mortgage to pay, childcare costs to cover, and a future to fund without your income. It provides the security and peace of mind that their future is protected, no matter what.
The Integrated Defence Matrix
| Financial Threat | PMI | Critical Illness | Income Protection | Life Insurance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost of Private Treatment | ✅ | (Can be used for this) | ||
| Lost Monthly Income | ✅ | |||
| Large Debts (e.g., Mortgage) | ✅ | ✅ | ||
| Long-Term Financial Ruin | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | |
| Family's Future Security | ✅ |
This integrated strategy ensures there are no gaps in your defence. Each policy has a distinct and crucial role to play in safeguarding your health, wealth, and family.
A Proactive Approach to Well-being: Lifestyle, Nutrition, and the WeCovr Advantage
Insurance is a crucial reactive and defensive strategy, but the first prize is always to prevent or mitigate disease in the first place. You have significant power to combat chronic inflammation through your daily choices.
Key anti-inflammatory strategies include:
- Diet: Adopt a Mediterranean-style diet rich in oily fish (omega-3s), olive oil, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes. Drastically reduce your intake of sugar, refined carbohydrates, and ultra-processed foods.
- Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity (like brisk walking) or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week, plus strength training.
- Stress Management: Incorporate practices like mindfulness, meditation, yoga, or simply spending time in nature to manage chronic stress.
- Sleep: Prioritise 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Create a relaxing bedtime routine and optimise your sleep environment.
We believe that supporting our clients' health goes beyond just providing insurance policies. That's why, at WeCovr, we go the extra mile. In addition to securing the best possible insurance protection for you, we provide all our clients with complimentary access to CalorieHero, our exclusive AI-powered calorie and nutrition tracking app.
CalorieHero makes it simple to monitor your food intake, identify pro-inflammatory foods in your diet, and make positive changes towards an anti-inflammatory lifestyle. It’s a practical tool to help you take control of your health, empowering you on your journey to long-term vitality.
Case Study: Sarah's Story – From Vague Symptoms to a Comprehensive Defence
Sarah, a 46-year-old marketing director in Manchester, had been feeling "off" for months. She was constantly tired, her joints ached, and she struggled with brain fog at work. Her GP ran some basic tests, which came back normal, and suggested it was likely burnout.
Unsatisfied, Sarah used her company's Private Medical Insurance. She saw a rheumatologist within two weeks. The consultant, suspecting an underlying inflammatory process, ordered a panel of advanced blood tests, including hs-CRP and specific autoimmune markers.
The results were revealing. Her hs-CRP was highly elevated, and she was diagnosed with early-stage seronegative rheumatoid arthritis.
Here's how her integrated protection plan kicked in:
- PMI: It provided the rapid diagnosis that the NHS pathway might have taken a year to reach. All her specialist consultations, scans, and initial treatments were covered, allowing her to start managing the disease immediately to prevent joint damage.
- Income Protection: Six months later, Sarah experienced a severe flare-up that required her to take eight weeks off work. After her four-week deferred period, her Income Protection policy kicked in, paying her 60% of her monthly salary, tax-free. This meant she could focus fully on her recovery without worrying about her mortgage or bills.
- Critical Illness Cover: Her rheumatoid arthritis was not yet severe enough to meet the definition for a payout on her Critical Illness policy. However, knowing she had a £250,000 policy in place gave her immense peace of mind. If the disease progressed and caused significant disability, she had a capital sum ready to adapt her home or fund future needs.
- Lifestyle: Armed with the diagnosis, Sarah used her CalorieHero app to overhaul her diet, focusing on anti-inflammatory foods. Her proactive approach, combined with her medical treatment, helped her manage her symptoms and regain her quality of life.
Sarah’s story is a powerful illustration of how health and financial protection work hand-in-hand to provide true security in the face of modern health challenges.
Navigating the Market: How to Secure Your Integrated Protection Plan
The world of insurance can seem complex, with hundreds of policies from dozens of providers like Aviva, Bupa, AXA, Vitality, Legal & General, and more.

- Whole-of-Market Access: We are not tied to any single insurer. We compare the entire market to find the combination of policies that offers the best possible cover for your specific needs and budget.
- Expert Advice: We understand the fine print. We can explain the key differences between policies—like which Critical Illness policy has the best definition for dementia, or which Income Protection plan has the most robust definition of incapacity.
- Simplified Process: We handle the paperwork and application process for you, ensuring everything is filled out correctly to avoid issues at the claim stage.
- Building Your Strategy: Our core skill is helping you build an integrated plan. We assess your income, debts, family situation, and health concerns to recommend the right levels of cover across PMI, Life, Critical Illness, and Income Protection.
The threat of chronic inflammation is real, and its consequences are severe. But you are not powerless. By understanding the risk, taking proactive steps to manage your health, and building a robust, integrated financial defence, you can protect yourself from the inevitable fallout. You can safeguard not just your health, but your family, your finances, and your future.

Why life insurance and how does it work?
What is Life Insurance?
Life insurance is an insurance policy that can provide financial support for your loved ones when you or your joint policy holder passes away. It can help clear any outstanding debts, such as a mortgage, and cover your family's living and other expenses such costs of education, so your family can continue to pay bills and living expenses. In addition to life insurance, insurance providers offer related products such as income protection and critical illness, which we will touch upon below.How does it work?
Life insurance pays out if you die. The payout can be in the form of a lump sum payment or can be paid as a replacement for a regular income. It's your decision how much cover you'd like to take based on your financial resources and how much you'd like to leave to your family to help them deal with any outstanding debts and living expenses. Your premium depends on a number of factors, including your occupation, health and other criteria.The payout amount can change over time or can be fixed. A level term or whole of life policy offers a fixed payout. A decreasing term policy offers a payout that decreases over the term of the cover.
With critical illness policies, a payout is made if you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness with a remaining life expectancy of less than 12 months. While income protection policies ensure you can continue to meet your financial commitments if you are forced to take an extended break from work. If you can’t work because you’ve had an accident, fallen sick, or lost your job through no fault of your own, income protection insurance pays you an agreed portion of your salary each month.
Income protection is particularly helpful for people in dangerous occupations who want to be sure their mortgage will always be covered. Income protection only covers events beyond your control: you’re much less likely to be covered if you’re fired from your job or if you injure yourself deliberately.
Questions to ask yourself regarding life insurance
Just ask yourself:👉 Who would pay your mortgage or rent if you were to pass away or fall seriously ill?
👉 Who would pay for your family’s food, clothing, study fees or lifestyle?
👉 Who would provide for the costs of your funeral or clear your debts?
👉 Who would pay for your costs if you're unable to work due to serious illness or disability?
Many families don’t realise that life, income protection and critical illness insurance is one of the most effective ways to protect their finances. A great insurance policy can cover costs, protect a family from inheriting debts and even pay off a mortgage.
Many would think that the costs for all the benefits provided by life insurance, income protection insurance or critical illness insurance are too high, but the great news is in the current market policies are actually very inexpensive.
Benefits offered by income protection, life and critical illness insurance
Life insurance, income protection and critical illness insurance are indispensable for every family because a child loses a parent every 22 minutes in the UK, while every single day tragically 60 people suffer major injuries on the UK roads. Some people become unable to work because of sickness or disability.Life insurance cover pays out a lump sum to your family, loved ones or whomever you choose to get the money. This can be used to secure the financial future of your loved ones meaning they would not have to struggle financially in the event of your death.
If it's a critical illness cover, the payout happens sooner - upon diagnosis of a serious illness, disability or medical condition, easing the financial hardship such an event inevitably brings.
Income protection insurance can be very important for anyone who relies on a pay check to cover their living costs, but it's especially important if you’re self-employed or own a small business, where your employment and income is a bit less stable. It pays a regular income if you can't work because of sickness or disability and continues until you return to paid work or you retire.
In a world where 1 in 4 of us would struggle financially after just four weeks without work, the stark reality hits hard – a mere 7% of UK adults possess the vital shield of income protection. The urgency of safeguarding our financial well-being has never been more palpable.
Let's face it – relying on savings isn't a solution for everyone. Almost 25% of people have no savings at all, and a whopping 50% have £1,000 or less tucked away. Even more concerning, 51% of Brits – that's a huge 27 million people – wouldn't last more than one month living off their savings. That's a 10% increase from 2022.
And don't even think about state benefits being a safety net. The maximum you can expect from statutory sick pay is a mere £109.40 per week for up to 28 weeks. Not exactly a financial lifeline, right?
Now, let's tackle a common objection: "But I have critical illness insurance. I don't need income protection too." Here's the deal – the two policies apply to very different situations. In a nutshell:
- Critical illness insurance pays a single lump sum if you're diagnosed with or undergo surgery for a specified potentially life-threatening illness. It's great for handling big one-off expenses or debts.
- Income protection, on the other hand, pays a percentage of your salary as a regular payment if you can't work due to illness or injury. It's the superhero that tackles those relentless monthly bills.
Types of life insurance policies
Common reasons for getting a life insurance policy are to:✅ Leave behind an amount of money to keep your family comfortable
✅ Protect the family home and pay off the mortgage in full or in part
✅ Pay for funeral costs
Starting from as little as a couple of pounds per week, you can do all that with a Life Policy.
Level Term Life Insurance
One of the simplest forms of life insurance, level term life insurance works by selecting a length of time for which you would want to be covered and then deciding how much you would like your loved ones to receive should the worst happen. Should your life insurance policy pay out to your family, it would be in a lump sum amount that can be used in whatever way the beneficiary may wish.
Decreasing Term Life Insurance
Decreasing term life insurance works in the same way as level term, except the lump sum payment amount upon death decreases with time. The common use for decreasing term life cover is to protect against mortgage repayment as the lump sum decreases along with the principal of the mortgage itself.
Increasing Term Life Insurance
Increasing term life insurance aims to pay out a cash sum growing each year if the worst happens while covered by the policy. With increasing term life cover amount insured increases annually by a fixed amount for the length of the policy. This can protect your policy's value against inflation, which could be advantageous if you’re looking to maintain your loved ones’ living standards, continue paying off your mortgage in line with its repayment schedule and cover your children’s education fees.
Whole of Life Insurance
Whereas term life insurance policies only pay out if you pass away during their term, whole of life insurance pays out to your beneficiaries whenever this should happen. The most common uses for whole life insurance are to cover the costs of a funeral or as a vehicle for your family's inheritance tax planning.
Family Income Benefit
Family income benefit is a somewhat lesser-known product in the family of life insurance products. Paying out a set amount every month of year to your beneficiaries, it is the most cost-effective way of maintaining your family's living standards to an age where you'd expect them to be able to support themselves financially. The most common use would be for a family with children who are not working yet so are unable to take care of themselves financially.
Relevant Life Insurance
Relevant Life Insurance is a tax-efficient policy for a director or single employee. A simple level term life insurance product, it is placed in a specific trust to ensure its tax efficiency. The premiums are tax deductible and any benefit payable should a claim arise is also paid out tax free, which makes it an attractive product for entrepreneurs and their businesses.
