Get more support in your retirement

If you’ve got a health condition, or you’re overweight or a smoker, you might be eligible to invest in an enhanced annuity. This provides you with an increased pay-out, offering better financial support for your retirement years.

We’re Wolverhampton-based financial advisors, who specialise in helping our clients get the most from their pension pots. If you live in the Midlands, we’ll focus on maximising your wealth, so you can enjoy a comfortable lifestyle once you’ve stopped working.

What is an enhanced annuity?

For the most part, an enhanced annuity works in exactly the same way as a standard annuity. You use a portion of your pension funds to purchase it, and in return, you’ll receive an income for life, or for a set period of time.

However, there’s a key difference. As you’ve got a medical condition, or are overweight or a smoker, that means you’ll get a larger pay-out.

Our team of advisors are here to explain exactly how it works, and go through the benefits of choosing an enhanced annuity over a standard one. As part of our initial consultation, we’ll run through your plans for the future, and what sort of lifestyle you want in your retirement. This will help us to identify the right annuity product for you.

Bear in mind – as with any annuity, once you’ve accepted the terms, you won’t be able to change how your income is paid. However, we’ll ensure that you completely understand the product before making a commitment.

FAQs

What health conditions qualify for an enhanced annuity?

The main health conditions that qualify are: cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and kidney failure. If you’re a smoker and / or overweight, this might also mean you’re eligible.

Why do enhanced annuities pay more?

If you’ve got a health condition, the annuity provider makes the assumption that you might not live as long as someone who’s completely healthy. As such, they’re happy to pay you more, on the basis that they won’t have to pay you for as many years. However, if you do outlive their expectations, you’ll still receive the payments.

How much will I get?

The income you’ll receive depends on the nature of your health condition. Less serious conditions (e.g., asthma, arthritis) are likely to pay out less, while major conditions like multiple heart failure and type 2 diabetes will generate a larger income.
