In return for a monthly payment, our over 50 insurance cover pays out a guaranteed cash lump sum.
With over 50s life cover plus, you now have the the flexibility to claim all of your over 50 life cover payout if you become terminally ill or 20% of your over 50 life cover payout if you become seriously ill.
This gives you the added reassurance that should you develop one of these conditions and you need the money it is available to you.
For full details please see the terms & conditions in the Policy Summary document.
life cover benefit
If you've not claimed the terminal illness benefit from your plan, your loved ones could receive a cash payout on your death. It is important to remember that inflation will reduce what your cash sum will buy in the future, so take this into account when you're choosing how much cover you may need.
| If you die... |
We pay... |
| In the first 2 years of the plan |
150% of the premiums you've paid up to the date of your death |
| Solely because of an accident in the first 2 years |
Three times the level of cover you've chosen (to a maximum of £48,000) |
| After the first 2 years of the plan |
The level of cover chosen less any serious illness benefit already paid. |
Depending on how long you pay premiums for, it's possible that what you pay in may be more than what would be paid out. Over 50s life cover plus is not a savings plan, all of the premiums paid are used for life cover and expenses and therefore the plan has no cash in value at any time.

After you have held the policy for 2 years you will be entitled to claim serious or terminal illness benefit.
Serious Illness Benefit
If you are diagnosed with one of the illnesses or conditions that are stated in our terms & conditions, you'll be entitled to claim 20% of the life cover amount. This will reduce your remaining life cover amount by 20%. For full details please see the terms & conditions in our Policy Summary document.
Terminal Illness Benefit
If you become terminally ill, you'll be able to claim the full remaining life cover amount. If you claim terminal illness benefit, the policy is closed and there will be no payout on death.
For full details please see the terms & conditions in our Policy Summary document.

If you stop paying your premiums before the age of 90 your plan will stop, the cover will cease and you won't get anything back.
Unlike some other providers, with Engage Mutual your monthly premiums will stop when you reach 90, but you will continue to be covered for the rest of your life.

You can nominate friends, loved ones or registered charities to receive up to £5,000 of your overall payout when you die. If there's any money left over it will go to your estate. The total amount paid out normally counts as part of your estate and may be subject to Inheritance Tax.
If you claim serious illness benefit you will receive the payout. This could affect the total payout to your nominated beneficiaries.
If you claim terminal illness benefit then you will receive the sum assured and there will be no payout when you die.

To help with your funeral costs, you can now arrange for a payment to be made from your over 50 life insurance to The Co-operative Funeralcare.
Although this isn't a funeral plan and won't necessarily meet the full cost of your funeral, it will help towards it. If the amount of life cover is greater than your funeral costs, the rest of your money will go to your estate or nominated beneficiaries.
If you choose this option the Co-operative will contribute £250 on top of the payment from your plan.
