An excellent way of showing the benefits of impaired annuities is to show you a real life case study example. Mr B came to us via a referral from one of our satisfied customers.
Mr B’s pension fund was worth £207,947 and was recommended by a friend who had previously purchased an annuity via our independent specialist annuity service. One of our experienced independent financial advisers (IFA) spoke to Mr B and completed a financial circumstances and medical questionnaire.
The medical questionaire uncovered the fact that Mr B, 6 weeks previously had had a mini-stroke and was also taking prescribed medicine for Diabetes type 2 as well as high blood pressure and cholesterol. His pension company were offering him an annual pension of £8,921. The IFA sent the completed medical questionnaire to all impaired health annuities providers and received quotes ranging from £10,153 to the highest of £11,020. Providing Mr B with an additional £2,099 each year for the rest of his life. As you can imagine Mr B was delighted and so glad he had taken the trouble to shop around for better annuity rates.
