Difference between level term and decreasing term
Level Cover is life insurance where the payout amount stays the same over the term of the policy. The monthly payments also stay the same over the term of the policy.
Decreasing Cover pays out a single amount that reduces over the term of the policy. Although payments stay the same over the term of the policy, how much you pay each month is typically less than for level cover. You could use it to help cover a repayment mortgage or any other loan that gradually gets repaid.
When a claim is paid, your family will get the amount of money you took the policy out for.

You’ll need to keep making monthly payments throughout the period of cover, unless you die or a terminal illness diagnosis that meets our definition has been confirmed.
If you miss a payment, don't worry you're still covered within a 60-day period. But if you don't pay your outstanding payments within that period, you'll no longer be covered and we'll have to cancel your policy on the 61st day.
It is worth remembering that you won’t get any money back, as this is a life insurance policy and not a savings plan. So you can’t cash in your cover at any time.
