Really good insight here Adam and love the comparisons, something I would have done otherwise, so thank you for taking the time to do this. Definitely an opportunity to help those interested in it understand the difference and guide/advise them on how to set up proper cover, however you are going to get those that will not speak to an advisor and will go direct. I supposed it better than not having cover at all but still highlights the fact that they need advice.

i am amazed at the new vitality product big brother springs to mind or am i missing something ? if the clients watch is logged with vitality is it also logged with their dna / what’s to stop little willy or some other demon using the watch and cartwheeling for 30 minutes to increase the steps.
and the exclusions cancer excluding less advanced cases effectively 1 to 4 ( their wording )
By my experience if you are stage 4 you are terminal
How do i know this because Guardian insurance pay out critical illness for all stage 4

What plonker not Rodney of course devised this dribble and put it to press UNBELIEVABLE “!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
