1 Protection For advisers only COVER WHERE IT MATTERS Our 17 ABI+ definitions explained
2 WE RE ALWAYS LOOKING AT WAYS TO IMPROVE THE COVER WE OFFER. 87%* of critical illness claims paid in 2017 were for cancer, heart attack, stroke, multiple sclerosis or children s critical illness. We want to make things easier for clients and pay more claims so we ve made sure our definitions for these conditions still go beyond the ABI standard. Even though children s critical illness isn t an ABI condition, we know it s important to your clients, so we ve made sure our definition is competitive in the market. * Source: Royal London UK protection business claims paid statistics (1 January to 31 December 2017). BREAKDOWN OF THE DEFINITIONS CLAIMED FOR * (BASED ON NUMBER OF CLAIMS) 62% Cancer 12% Heart attack 6% Stroke 4% Children s critical illness 3% Multiple sclerosis 12% All other conditions Cover Cancer Heart attack Stroke Multiple sclerosis Almost two thirds of critical illness claims are for cancer, so our cancer cover includes seven early forms of the disease. As long as cardiac markers have shown any rise and the other aspects of the definition are satisfied, we ll pay a claim. A client only needs to have had neurological deficit with persisting clinical for 24 hours before we pay a claim this doesn t need to be permanent. Our definition only requires clinical impairment or a diagnosis supported by MRI. We don t require current which have persisted for a set period of time. This will help us pay a claim as fast as possible. These statements should be read together with the plan details, which include the full definitions. THIS IS FOR FINANCIAL ADVISER USE ONLY AND SHOULDN T BE RELIED UPON BY ANY OTHER PERSON. 2
3 OUR 17 ABI+ DEFINITIONS EXPLAINED ABI model wording Royal London definition Where we go beyond ABI Aorta graft surgery for disease The undergoing of surgery for disease to the aorta with excision and surgical replacement of a portion of the diseased aorta with a graft.

We ve removed the requirement for permanent neurological deficit with persisting clinical if surgery is performed to remove the tumour. We cover vision measured at 6/60 or worse in the better eye, or if the visual field is reduced to 20 degrees or less of an arc.
