Enhanced Pension Annuity

A guaranteed regular higher income for life for those who have impaired health conditions or have previously suffered from certain medical conditions
Here are some of the features of our Enhanced Pension Annuity plan.

  • Easy for clients to buy - they can use funds from all UK registered pension schemes including contracted out benefits.
  • More heath conditions covered than ever before so more of your clients could receive a higher income.
  • Even if the client is fine, but their spouse or dependant has a health condition, they could still get our higher rates if they are including benefits for them too.
  • No need for a medical to be done, we can quote from a common quote request form.
  • Range of options can help you to tailor it to individual client requirements.
  • Clients can choose to have their income monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly.
  • Offers a choice of income payments – same amount each year or increasing each year by either a fixed percentage or in line with the rate of inflation.
  • The client can choose an option that guarantees to continue paying an income up until a set date, even if they die before that date.
  • For further information please refer to the Key Features document.
