1/9 @Ben_Collen @CBNtweets 1. Check out what your death in service benefits from work are, & bear in mind that retirement on health grounds may be a better financial option if terminally ill. I discovered this in the final days of Ben's life & I really don't recommend that timing.

I've heard from a handful of people who sorted their wills out over the weekend, which is super gratifying! If you haven't done it yet - please add it to your to-do list for this week - it really doesn't take very long & it makes a HUGE difference.

@Ben_Collen and I didn't think it would happen to us!
