Critical illness cover

Why critical illness cover?

Many people aim to live a healthy lifestyle and may not envisage themselves becoming seriously ill or unable to work because of illness or an unfortunate accident. Should this happen, it can have a huge impact on you and your family’s lives, so it’s always best to be prepared. Critical illness cover is a long term insurance policy which provides you with a lump sum of money if you are diagnosed with a serious illness.

• Conditions
  Be aware that not all conditions are covered and the policy will also state how serious the condition must be, but our advisers will be able to talk you through everything you need to know. Life insurance is a different cover, although we can provide protection for both under one policy.
• Could you be covered?
  Dementia, stroke, heart attack, Parkinson’s, certain types and stages of cancer, and conditions such as multiple sclerosis are all examples of critical illnesses that may be covered. To make a claim for most illnesses you must have permanent symptoms, and you will receive one lump sum payment.
• Cost
  The monthly amount you will pay for this insurance depends on many factors. These include your age, occupation, current and historic health, and your lifestyle, for example whether you are or have been a smoker. When deciding how much critical illness cover you may need, think about how much money you and your family or loved ones would need to get by financially if the unthinkable happens and you are unable to work.
