Impaired Annuity

What is an impaired annuity?

An impaired annuity takes serious health conditions into account by providing you with a higher income.

How is this impairment assessed?

The insurance company you choose reviews the medical evidence you supply with your annuity application.

The impairment value is the number of years added to your actual age. If, for example you are age 65 and the impairment value is 4, you will receive a monthly payment of a person aged 69.

Impaired annuity evidence

A detailed report from your doctor outlining medical history and present condition indicating that life expectancy is below normal.
