The application is the document, and the responses are classified as representations.
The application is the foundational source of underwriting information. When an applicant answers the health and lifestyle questions, the law considers these answers to be representations. This means they are believed to be true to the best of the applicant's knowledge, which protects the consumer if they honestly forgot a minor, immaterial detail.
