paying off endowment mortgage

Hi, I hope someone can answer this.
If I pay off my mortgage early does the endowment become taxable?
Also NU/aviva have promised to try to make up at least some of the shortfall. If I pay off will I still get this possible extra?
Many Thanks

    No. The mortgage is one thing, the endowment is another. You can do what you like with the mortgage and it has no impact on the endowment.

    Yes. As long as you stay until maturity. If you surrender the endowment you lose the promise value.
