VitalityLife's Later Life Options explained
Our Later Life Options2 are a unique benefit of our Serious Illness Cover, offering two levels of protection to help support you in later life against the potential impact of dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson's, stroke and frailty. It pays out based on the severity of your condition, so you could receive more than one payout, if your condition worsens.
Dementia and FrailCare Cover
You can add this option at the start of your plan with no additional cost. Cover begins at the end of your Serious Illness Cover term and is calculated at the start of the plan as 50% of the Serious Illness Cover and a maximum amount available of £100,000.
Dementia and FrailCare Cover Plus
Works in the same way as described above, but calculated as 100% of the Serious Illness Cover and a maximum amount available of £200,000 at the start of the plan. This Option can be chosen for an extra cost.
Funeral Cover
Offers up to £10,000 of cover, as part of both Later Life Options when you Choose Term Life cover.
Do I need a Later Life Option?
Whatever your age, if you or your dependants are relying on your salary to cover expenses and outgoings then taking out Serious Illness Cover could be beneficial for you. Serious Illness Cover helps ease the burden of critical illness by paying out a lump sum depending on the severity of the illness so you could continue to cover expenses while you recover.
We offer Later Life Options as an optional addition to this. You might not yet be considering how you would cover the costs associated with later life conditions or dementia care but if you think you might struggle with costs such as nursing care or care homes, then taking out a plan with one of our Later Life Options could help ease your mind that you and your loved ones are protected.
