Critical illness insurance
Critical illness cover offers financial protection to your loved ones, in the event that you become seriously ill, and normally lasts for a set period of time or until you retire.
If you are diagnosed with one of the specific illnesses on a provider’s predetermined list including certain cancers or strokes, you will typically receive a tax-free lump sum. Critical illness policies generally do not pay out if you are unable to work due to a bad back or stress. For cases like this, income protection insurance would probably be a better option.
Life and critical illness cover can be bought together to pay off large debts such as your mortgage. If you have dependants, you should consider a life insurance policy to protect your family.
