• It is the time that you will have to wait before you can submit a claim on your policy.
• If the death of an insured person occurs within the waiting period, the benefit will not be payable.
• You and your loved ones covered under this policy will be covered for accidental death from the date your first premium is paid.
• For death due to natural causes, there is a waiting period of 6 months (in addition, 6 benefit premiums must have been paid).
• For death due to suicide or self-inflicted injury, there is a waiting period of 12 months (in addition, 12 benefit premiums must have been paid).

• If you are below 65 then benefit premiums and benefit amounts will increase automatically on your policy. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions on your policy document.
• These policy increases will stop when you turn 65. For other lives insured on the policy, their benefit premiums and benefit amounts would stop increasing when they turn 65.
• On rare occasions, we might need to review your policy premium. This means that your policy premium will increase outside of, and in addition to, the normal annual increase to benefit premiums and amounts. This happens because of unforeseen circumstances that increase the cost of insuring certain policies. If a review were to happen, you would be given 31 days’ notice before the increase takes effect.

• To discuss the options available to you regarding the premium change, which may include (but is not limited to) decreasing your cover amount or removing an annual increase: If you have questions or to request a cancellation, please contact our Customer Services Department on the details below.
