Mortgage Protection Insurance (MPI) Scheme for Local Authority Borrowers

Policyholder update

As part of this update the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage made the decision that with effect from 1st January 2023, the Scheme will provide Life Cover only for new MPI policyholders.

Existing policyholders, will be given the opportunity to opt-out of Disability Benefit on an annual basis. This means that if you don’t opt-out of Disability Benefit in 2023, we will contact you in 2024 when the opt-out period is available.

What do we mean by opt-out?

IMPORTANT: If you choose to opt-out of Disability Benefit, you may be able to arrange this cover yourself on the open market however the costs may be higher, and your application will be subject to the relevant insurers' acceptance criteria and underwriting terms.

WARNING: If you choose to opt-out you will not be able to re-apply for Disability Benefit under the Scheme in the future.

How do you opt-out?

  1. Complete the Disability Benefit Opt-Out Form below
  2. Send the completed Disability Benefit Opt-Out Form to the Local Authority that administers your Loan (contact details below) before 31st October 2023
  3. The Local Authority will process the opt-out request, removing the Disability Benefit and adjusting the premium from 1st January 2024
  4. The Local Authority will confirm the opt-out to the policyholder directly by post.

Opt-Out Form

Please note: If you are Joint Borrowers under the Scheme, you both must complete and sign the Disability Benefit Opt-Out Form to be eligible for opting out of Disability Benefit.
