In the first of a new series of mini articles our sponsors lead financial adviser, Chris Morgan shares some of the themes that have been emerging since changes to Gay Life Insurance and the introduction of HIV Life Insurance and HIV Life Assurance products in the UK …
Where Can I Find Gay Life Assurance or Gay Life Insurance?
When I started campaigning on HIV issues more than 15 years ago, it was my dream that Lesbian and Gay people and those living with HIV would be able to access Life Assurance and Mortgage products in the same way as any other community and that they would not feel excluded or discriminated against.
Things have changed so much recently that we’ve been getting many enquiries for Life Insurance and Life Assurance from people who are being offered Insurance by their own bank. People are coming to us after being offered Life Insurance or Life Assurance by there bank and being asked questions about their sexuality or their health status.
Times have changed dramatically in a relatively short space of time on these issues, which has meant that Gay people and those living with HIV are now facing new challenges when interacting with their bank. We are receiving calls every single week from people not wishing to answer questions from their bank.
If you are asked about your Sexuality or your HIV status by your bank when taking a Mortgage or Insurance and you are not comfortable with sharing this information then you should seek independent financial advice. Compass are specialists at finding Life Assurance and Mortgages for Gay people and also those living with HIV.
