Thinking about Life Insurance?
- Tuesday, 21 February 2012
Many people come, at some point, to the conclusion that they need to take out life insurance. But, as you may or may not know, life insurance cover for the over 50s functions in a completely different way to conventional life insurance policies. Instead of offering fixed term policies, life insurance over 50 offers whole-of-life cover, which pays out a fixed lump sum when the policy holder dies. So as long as you pay your premiums your policy will pay out. Over-50s life insurance is open to people over the age of 50 and generally up to the age of 75, although some companies will insure people up to the age of 80.

Hammering pensioners and savings is neither right nor fair
- Tuesday, 21 February 2012
In a report published today: Osborne's Choice: combining fiscal credibility and growth, Ian Mulheirn of the Social Market Foundation, has recommended removing free bus travel for pensioners, scrapping Winter Fuel Payments and TV licences to the better-off pensioners, halving higher rate tax relief for pension savings and capping ISAs to £15,000. All this will save £9.4 billion or 63 per cent of the savings required by 2016.
