Wiltshire Police Federation Healthcare Scheme
The Wiltshire Police Federation Healthcare Scheme was acquired by Police Mutual on 1 July 2014. All membership was transferred to the current Police Mutual healthcare scheme and is now administered by its rules.
No.1 Healthcare Scheme
Closure Date: January 2014
The No.1 Healthcare Scheme is a discretionary scheme. All the members pay in to the Scheme to provide cover when it's needed for each other. It's discretionary because each case is looked at on an individual basis to see what help is right for that member. To make sure decisions are fair, the Scheme has Rules that guide which treatments are covered and what's not. But unlike private medical insurance, there are no 'hidden' extras or payments for 'extra' cover. Just one simple price for each member.
It is important that you call the healthcare team on 01543 441 630 before you receive any medical treatment you think you may need to claim for.

Regular Income Life Cover/Family Income Benefit
This contract has not been offered since March 2001. It is a regular premium, non-profit family income benefit. It will provide a monthly income until the end of the policy term, if the life assured dies during the term of the policy.
Police 4000
This contract has not been offered since 1994. It is a combination of three parts level term assurance and one part non-profit whole-of-life assurance. Regular premiums are payable until a specified age (55, 60 or 65). At the specified age the life cover provided by the policy reduces to a quarter of the original amount.
Convertible Term Assurance/Convertible Option Policy
This contract has not been offered since 1996. It is a regular premium, non-profit term assurance, issued in conjunction with a with-profits endowment. The original sum assured could not exceed 10 times the sum assured on the connected endowment policy. It will pay out a lump sum, if the life assured dies during the term of the policy.
Mortgage Protection (Decreasing Term)
This is a regular premium, non-profit decreasing term assurance. The sum payable on death is the amount normally outstanding under a repayment mortgage. The gross mortgage rate was assumed to be 9% per year for policies issued since March 2002.
Before 1997 the policy was also issued on a “with return” basis, where a surrender value is payable. The maturity value payable on a “with return” policy is 20% of the initial sum assured for terms of 20 years or more, and 10% for terms of less than 20 years.
Term Assurance
This contract has not been offered since 1996. It is a regular premium, non-profit level term assurance. It will pay out a lump sum, if the life assured dies during the term of the policy.

Closure Date: 31 March 2005/30 April 1998
These plans are designed to help you repay an interest-only mortgage.
You invested a regular, fixed amount into the Fund for a term of between 10 and 30 years. In return we guaranteed to pay you a lump sum at the end of the term. We may also add bonuses to reflect investment performance over the period.
At the outset you selected a target amount which was usually equal to your mortgage. The ‘low cost’ guarantee was less than your target amount that you set when you took out the plan. This means your plan relied on investment performance to make up the difference between the low cost guarantee and the target amount but this was not guaranteed. The Minimum Low Cost Endowment has a lower guarantee than the Low Cost Endowment.
Every year, with your performance update, we’ll highlight using a colour code whether your plan is currently on track to reach your target amount. The colours are red (not on target), amber (may not be on target) and green (on target). If you die before the end of the term, we’ll pay a lump sum of at least your original target amount.
We’ll contact you shortly before the end of the term to let you know the value and explain your options.
If you increase your mortgage, you’ll need to consider how you’ll repay the additional amount.
You can stop saving at any time and take the surrender value – if you do so, you may not get back what you put in. There may be tax to pay - it depends on when you cash in, the cash in value and if you need to pay higher rate tax at that time.
For more information please read the following FAQs:
What do the red, amber and green ratings mean?
If you’re using an endowment plan to pay off your mortgage, we provide you with regular statements and accompanying letters which are colour-coded to help you review whether your plan is on track to repay your mortgage. These colour-coded ratings are linked to the projected growth rates we use to estimate what your plan could be worth when it matures:
Red means there’s a high risk that your plan won't pay out enough to cover your target amount, and that you should consider taking action to make sure you’ll be able to repay the whole of your mortgage. You can make up a shortfall in a number of different ways. You'll find these explained in detail in the online MoneyHelper guide.
Amber means there’s a significant risk that your plan won't pay enough to cover your target amount, We strongly suggest you consider taking action to make sure you’ll be able to repay the whole of your mortgage loan.
Green means that your target amount will be achieved if our investments continue to grow at a reasonable rate. It means that your plan is currently on track to achieve at least your target amount, but this may change in the future. A green letter is no guarantee that your plan will pay your target amount when it matures at the end of the term.
It’s a good idea to check your statement carefully each year, even if your plan has been on track so far. Please bear in mind that the projections we send you are no guarantee of what you’ll receive when your plan matures – you may get back more or less than the amounts estimated in your statement.
If you’ve told us that you’re no longer using your plan to pay off your mortgage, we won’t send you a colour-coded rating letter – just a yearly statement.
Do you need to know if my plan is assigned to a mortgage lender?
Yes. Please let us know any assignment changes by phoning our Customer Relationship Centre on 01543 441 630. Assignment means that when your plan becomes payable, we’ll pay the plan proceeds direct to the assigned third party, typically this is the lender who has provided you with your mortgage. So we need to make sure our records are up to date. On your yearly statement you’ll see the assignment details we currently have for you - if these have changed, please get a notice of reassignment from the new third party and send a copy to us so that we can update our records.
Do you need to know if I'm no longer planning to use my plan to pay off a mortgage?
Yes - if the purpose of your plan has changed, please let us know. This will allow us to tailor the information we send to you. We’ll continue to send you a yearly statement, but stop sending you a colour-coded risk warning.
Should I surrender my plan early?
With-profits plans, like your Police Mutual Low Cost Endowment mortgage plan, are long-term contracts. Cashing in before the end of the term may not be in your best interests and remember you will also lose the life cover included in your plan, which may be more expensive to replace as you get older.
If you do choose to surrender your plan early, we’ll calculate its cash-in value at the time. The amount you receive will depend on the investment return and the amount you’ve paid in, taking into account our charges, expenses, tax, our smoothing policy and the cost of life cover.

Closure Date: 31 December 2011
You invest a regular, fixed amount into our Life Fund for 10 years. In return we guarantee to pay you a lump sum at the end of the term or twice that amount if you die before the end of the term. Your guarantee may be more or less than you invest depending on your age when you started your plan. We may also add bonuses to reflect investment performance over the period.
We’ll contact you shortly before the end of the term to let you know the value and explain your options.
You can stop saving at any time and take the surrender value – if you do so, you may not get back what you put in. There may be tax to pay – it depends if you need to pay higher rate tax. A 5% deduction is no longer applied to the surrender value from 1 October 2020.
