Firefighters & Fireman Life Insurance & Critical Illness Cover

One of the many myths associated with Life Assurance & Critical Illness Cover is that certain occupations are excluded from being eligible for cover by all insurers and always have been and always will be.

One such profession which many believe falls into this category is that of a fire service member.

While it is true that not all insurers treat an individual applicant’s occupation in the same way, it is worth knowing that there are insurers out there who will grant what is called ‘standard terms’ to a person whose job is that of a firefighter or fireman.

So What Are Standard Terms?

‘Standard terms’ is insurance industry jargon meaning a person is offered cover after a health and lifestyle questionnaire without any alterations to the terms of the policy (e.g. that no exclusions are applied for anything that may happen whilst at work), or indeed the price (an increase in the price of a policy due to a perceived increase in risk to the insurer is known as a ‘rating’).

As mentioned above, not all insurers make the same decisions on circumstances. There is a significant degree of variation from one provider to another.

We have access to a full market range of life assurance providers and can tailor a plan that fits your circumstances as a firefighter and your pocket.
