Misrepresentation Case Studies

Misrepresentation is when incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information is provided during an application process. It can have serious consequences for whether a future claim is paid. Most income protection claims are paid in full. However, those that are not, often fail due to misrepresentation, errors or omissions made during the application process.
