26th June ‘08 - Soldiers Encouraged to Take Out Life Insurance
Posted on Friday, June 27th, 2008 at 12:56pmMembers of the British armed forces have been encouraged to take out life insurance policies, regardless of their age.
Younger armed forces members have received particular encouragement, being reminded that policies are cheaper when a person is young.
William McCartney from Apple Insurance Brokers comments, “When you’re 18 years old you’re very, very cheap to insure so for anybody considering joining the army I would advise taking out a nice life insurance policy there and then.”
“My advice to any soldier would be to get your life insurance cover sorted, and the sooner they do the better.”
The need for life protection among members of the armed forces is increasingly reflected in the UK insurance market, with many insurers now offering policies specifically tailored for soldiers, whether they are seeking decreasing term policies, level term life insurance policies or critical illness cover.
