1 HomeInvestor Application for additional cover under mortgage options Important notes This application relates to the mortgage options which are available under, and governed by, the HomeInvestor Provisions (the Provisions ). These options are available where mortgage options are shown in your HomeInvestor Policy Certificate. This application will be used to assess whether the conditions for exercise of the mortgage options in section 13 of the Provisions have been met. This application for additional cover must be in connection with a mortgage increase for either house purchase or house improvements. Your answers to the questions on this form will be used to assess the application and you must, therefore, answer them fully to the best of your knowledge and belief. You must give us any information which might be relevant and which could influence our decision. If you are unsure whether a particular fact is relevant, you should disclose it. Before any plan comes into force, any changes in the facts contained in the answers given in this application must be notified to Clerical Medical in writing. Clerical Medical reserves the right to amend the terms on which your application may have been accepted or to withdraw acceptance in any event of such change. Part or all of the plan benefits might be forfeited if the requirements of the above paragraphs are not complied with. It is important that you read this section if you have ever had a genetic test. We comply with the Association of British Insurers policy on genetics and insurance. We ll never ask you to take a genetic test. You don t have to tell us about any genetic test result you ve had if: i) you re applying for Life Cover and the total amount of that benefit, added to any existing life insurance policies you have, is less than 500,000; ii) iii) you re applying for Critical Illness Cover and the total amount of that benefit, added to any existing critical illness policies you have, is less than 300,000; you re applying for Income Protection and the total amount of that benefit, added to any existing income protection policies you have, is less than 30,000 a year. You may need to tell us if your benefit amount goes over these limits. The Government s Genetics and Insurance Committee has agreed that certain genetic test results can be used for insurance and we will only use these ones. Please ask us if you think this may apply to you or go to However, you must always tell us about any genetically inherited condition which your family has a history of, or which you have symptoms of or are being treated for. If you want, you can tell us about any negative genetic test results to show you have not inherited a genetic disorder and we ll take this into account. Insurers pass information on claims concerning income protection insurance, critical illness insurance and waiver of premium benefits to the Income Protection Claims Register, run by the Association of British Insurers (ABI). The aim is to prevent duplicate fraudulent claims. When you make a claim, we will notify the register of that event. You can ask us for more information about this. The mortgage options expire on the life assured s 55th birthday and are not available in respect of plans that mature after the life assured s 70th birthday. The mortgage options can only be used on a maximum of three separate occasions and each occasion should be at least twelve months apart. You should remember that any person who is advising you regarding the plan(s), policy(ies) or contract(s) for which you are applying, is acting for you and not on behalf of Clerical Medical. Plan benefits will not commence until Clerical Medical has issued a Letter of Acceptance and all conditions contained therein have been complied with. Copies of the completed application and the plan provisions are available on request. The phrase Clerical Medical is used in this form to refer to Scottish Widows Limited. Defined terms used in this application have the same meaning as in the Provisions. 1
