Exclusions to Life Protection

  • War is an exclusion to Life Protection. Life Protection benefits may not be payable if a member is injured, becomes ill, or dies resulting from an insurrection of any war, declared or undeclared, or service in the armed forces of any country.
  • A person taking their own life is an exclusion to Life Protection. Life Protection will not clear any loan or double any savings contribution of anything received six months prior to a member taking their own life. 
  • In the case of a pre-existing medical condition any savings contribution which has been received in the last six months before their death, will not be eligible for Life Protection. Life Protection will not be paid on the balance of your loan(s) which has been approved within six months of death if it occurs from a pre-existing illness or injury, for which medical advice, consultation, or treatment was received within the six months prior to death.

Example of a payout with a pre-existing medical condition

The following example is based on a member who saves £50 per month, has a total of £8,300 in savings and if they were to pass away from a pre-existing medical condition.

The member would have £8,300 total at the time of their death and the last six months’ contributions would not be covered by Life Protection. The last six months of contributions which total £300 (£50 per month) would not be doubled. The remaining £8,000 would be doubled to £16,000 and a total of £16,300 would be paid to the estate.
