Investopedia explains 'Without Evidence of Insurability'

In general, an insurance policy without evidence of insurability is a higher risk for the insurer. This added risk is from the lack of information on the policyholder. To limit the risk of the insurer, the insurer usually places a cap or limited on the amount the policyholder can receive if needed.
