Why your current policy might be
more valuable than you think

What most
people don’t
realise:

Your Current Terms Are Lost

Your existing policy terms don’t come back. New cover may have different definitions or restrictions.
Cycle icon

Acceptance Isn’t Guaranteed

Being approved once doesn’t guarantee you’ll be approved again. Health changes and underwriting rules change, future cover isn’t automatic.
Cycle icon

It May Cost More Later

Insurance generally increases with age. Reapplying later may result in new premium rates.
