Over 1500 medical conditions on their own or in combination qualify for an enhanced income.
The most serious medical conditions will offer the highest rates.
The date of diagnosis and prescribed treatment will affect the enhancement, however some serious medical conditions will have a lower enhancement as time passes from initial diagnosis, particularly with some forms of cancer.
Just like a traditional annuity there are a range of options for the impaired annuity. Also see Annuity Options.
Basic death benefits can be very cost effective and reduce the income in a very small way.
Enhanced annuity rates can be achieved if your spouse has medical problems and you choose spouse protection.
