The Graded Death Benefit product was designed to accommodate applicants who were unable to qualify for the Simplified Issue product because of health issues. This is the policy that seniors can use to compare with Lincoln Heritage Guaranteed Issue or Colonial Penn.
Although guaranteed issue insurance is considered the life insurance of last resort, applicants should know that this policy is the only solution for people who are suffering health issues that disqualify them from purchasing traditional whole life insurance. It is especially a great solution for burial insurance for seniors.
