  13. The challenge • PAFS introduced medically underwritten annuities into the UK in 1995 • By 2004 less than 10% of the annuities bought were enhanced. • Heightened awareness and the introduction of TCF meant that by 2013 as many as 60% of annuitants could qualify for some form of enhancement.

  14. The challenge • Around 2009 a website appeared www.missoldannuity.co.uk • The ambulance chasers are now on the case “Have you been asked medical questions?” “No, why?” “You could be entitled to compensation”

  15. The challenge What’s this got to do with equity release?Everything • Under TCF outcome 4 you must take all your client’s circumstances into consideration. • Do you always ask your clients about their health?
