In recent weeks, insurers have made it clear that the industry is covering policyholders during the coronavirus pandemic, and that they are working hard to deal with claims.
To find out what approach your insurer is taking, here’s a summary of the current position and some useful links to find out more. If your insurance provider is not listed please click here to contact us and let us know.

This means that any life insurance, Critical Illness or Income Protection claims ‘will be treated in the usual way’.
If you’re applying for protection through Aegon you will have to declare if you have symptoms of coronavirus under the question about ‘ tests and investigations’. It’s important that you answer this question honestly or you may invalidate any future claim.
If you have, or are being investigated for coronavirus, Aegon will defer offering cover until you make afull recovery or all investigations prove negative.

They have also confirmed that coronavirus is not a listed Critical Illness under their policy and so would not therefore be a valid claim.
Any new customers applying for life insurance who have or have displayed symptoms of coronavirus would see their application deferred until they made a full recovery.

- Life insurance claims will be dealt with in the normal way
- Coronavirus is not a listed illness under their Critical Illness cover and so they would not pay a claim for this
- Income Protection – even though the product terms state that a person would need to have a medical condition to qualify under the income protection (IP) terms and conditions, Legal & General have confirmed that they will consider the medically advised period of self-isolation as counting towards any work absence, even if the coronavirus (Covid-19) has not yet been diagnosed.

For new applications, you would be expected to disclose information regarding outstanding tests/investigations, recent tests/investigations, or symptoms, under the relevant questions on the application form.
Where there is a positive disclosure, Scottish Widows would treat accordingly, and postpone until symptoms have cleared. If you have recently travelled to an area of high-risk, or intend to travel to a certain area, then these cases will also be postponed.

From 18th March 2020 The Exeter added an exclusion to all new policies with a Day-1 or 1-week waiting period. The exclusion will state:

As coronavirus is not a specified illness under Zurich’s Critical Illness policy, any claim made would not be valid. However, in the small number of cases where people die as a result, any life insurance attached to your plan would pay out.
As the minimum deferred period for Income Protection is four weeks, Zurich do not expect any claims to be made under the terms of their plan. However, where symptoms are severe or there are complications that result in absence of longer than four weeks, their normal claims process would apply.
Zurich have made no changes to their application process, so you would simply have to declare any symptoms of coronavirus as normal.

That means you can nominate somebody to look after the money if you die and there’s a payout before you want the intended recipient to get the money. A common example is parents who want to have the payout go to a child only once the child turns 18 or 21. Putting a policy into trust also ensures that the payout goes to your intended recipient and can’t be seized by creditors if you have any debts when you die. There may also be tax benefits to putting a policy into trust.
