§983. Application
A. The falsity of any statement in the application for any policy covered by this Subpart shall not bar the right to recovery under the policy unless such false statement materially affected either the acceptance of the risk or the hazard assumed by the insurer. The insured shall not be bound by any statement unless made in a written application in the case of domestic industrial insurers, and, in the case of other insurers, unless a copy of such application is attached to or endorsed on the policy.
B. No alteration of any written application for any such policy shall be made by any person other than the applicant without his written consent, except that insertions may be made by the insurer, for administrative purposes only, in a manner as to indicate clearly that such insertions are not to be ascribed to the applicant.
