"Quite often, the options available will not be affected too much by endometriosis but there are some key questions you need to ask."
Hopefully this has reiterated the need to discuss protection insurance whilst beginning to arrange mortgages for your clients, as well as highlighting the benefits of utilising the services of a specialist adviser if protection isn’t your thing.
Matt Rann hosted alongside me in the latest episode, in which we focus on protection insurance underwriting, specifically upon endometriosis. 1 in 10 women in the UK have endometriosis, making it much more common than expected. As this month is Endometriosis Awareness Month and half of an adviser’s client base are usually women, we believe this is definitely a worthwhile discussion to be having on the podcast.
Quite often, the options available will not be affected too much by endometriosis but there are some key questions you need to ask. There are occasionally some long-term health implications of endometriosis, which is why it is crucial to approach parts of your Fact Find process in a sensitive manner.
A case study of arranging life insurance to protect a mortgage, for someone living with endometriosis will be shared during this episode.
If you are an employer, I have also given a few pointers at the end of the episode on what can be done to support colleagues who have endometriosis.
