Personal Accident Cover for the Armed Forces
You protect us and we protect you and your family with worldwide cover, 24 hours a day.
Our Personal Accident cover compliments the recently improved Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS)* by providing maximum benefit for disabilities resulting from accidents outside service.
This unique approach ensures that premiums are kept to a level that those in the Forces can afford.
Dependent upon the level of cover you select, our Personal Accident cover includes as standard:
- Double Disaster Benefit � If both you and your spouse or partner die or are permanently totally disabled from any occupation in the same accident, the policy will pay double the benefits
- War risks (except between major powers)
- Terrorism (except nuclear, chemical and biological)
- Permanent Total Disablement from any occupation up to �150,000
- Hazardous occupations and activities (leisure as well as work)
- �500 benefit across all levels, for Bullet and Shrapnel Wound
- Permanent loss of Specialist Pay, which operates on a sliding scale from �1,000 - �7,500.
Additional cover
You can select extra cover for death by natural causes and it can be extended to include your spouse or partner.
Female cancer cover, at no extra cost
Forces Financial Personal Accident cover now provides female service personnel with �3,500 benefit payable on the diagnosis of cancer of specified organs.
Whilst it is generally understood that the pricing of some products such as Motor and Life Insurance already take account of gender, other policy premiums do not reflect the differing risks and requirements of men and women in the same way.
Forces Financial believes that specialist insurance products designed for the military should evolve in order to meet not only changing operational requirements, but to also fairly represent the requirements and risks posed by the different sexes in both the premiums and benefits offered.
Statistics show that:
- Women in the Armed Forces are less likely to claim on their Personal Accident policy than men.
- Women live longer than men.
- However nationally, women are more than twice as likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than men are to experience prostate cancer.
*The AFCS top tariff level remains at �570,000
