At British Seniors we understand that circumstances can change quickly, and life doesn’t always go to plan. That’s why we’ve made it so you can apply to make changes to your policy. So, you’ll never feel locked into something that’s not suitable for you.  

Stop paying premiums 

With British Seniors, on your policy anniversary following your 95th birthday you will no longer have to pay premiums. You will still be covered by British Seniors for the whole of your life.
