Military Life Insurance and Home Protection
Specialist Advice for Serving Armed Forces Personnel – Based in Swindon and Nationwide
At Mather & Murray Financial, we understand that life in the Armed Forces comes with unique risks and responsibilities — and your insurance needs are very different from those of a civilian. That’s why we offer tailored financial advice and protection policies specifically for military personnel, both serving and retired.
Our experienced advisers are based at our Swindon head office, or can meet you at home or at your barracks. Wherever you are stationed in the UK, we’re here to help you find the right cover and peace of mind.
Life Cover and Critical Illness for Armed Forces
If you're in the Army, Navy, RAF or Royal Marines, standard life insurance and serious illness cover may not meet your needs. Many insurance companies either increase premiums for military personnel or exclude war zones and active duties — meaning you could be left exposed when it matters most.
Our advisers understand these limitations and work only with insurers who:
Do not penalise you for your profession
Do not apply war zone exclusions
Offer policies that provide genuine peace of mind
We’ll assess your circumstances, looking at:
Current income and allowances
Mortgages or other debts
Household expenses
Dependents and childcare costs
From there, we’ll recommend the most appropriate life and serious illness cover that’s fit for purpose and fully explained.
Why Military Personnel Need Specialist Advice
Standard comparison sites and high street insurers often don’t account for the realities of military life. That’s why it’s vital to speak to a specialist who understands the challenges of:
Deployments
Overseas postings
Changes in rank or role
Licence to Occupy liabilities
Whether you're looking to protect your family's financial future or simply want reassurance that your cover is comprehensive, we’re here to support you.
