Critical Illness Cover

Critical illness cover provides you with a lump sum of money in the event that you are diagnosed with certain illnesses or disability. Our advisers are here to offer expert guidance that will enable you to decide whether critical illness cover is right for you.

How does critical illness cover work?

Critical illness insurance is designed to cover particular long-term illnesses and serious conditions, such as heart attack, cancer, stroke, loss of arms or legs, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis. These conditions and illnesses can prevent an individual from being able to work for a long period of time or potentially for the rest of their life, which can cause their finances to take a hit.

By having critical illness cover in place, you’re protecting your finances should the worst-case scenario arise.

What should the money be used for?

Facing a serious illness shouldn’t worsen your financial worries. Critical illness cover offers a lump sum payment, regardless of sick pay or state benefits, to ensure that you’re never out of pocket due to illness.

The payout can be used for:

  • Mortgage payments: Keep your home secure during a challenging time.
  • Monthly bills: Maintain financial stability for yourself and your family.
  • Unexpected expenses: Cover medical costs, treatment, or adjustments needed at home.

Should I take out critical illness cover?

This is a personal decision that hinges on your unique circumstances and financial goals. However, here are some questions to help you make an informed choice:

  • Are there other ways you could manage financially if you were diagnosed with a critical illness?
  • What level of peace of mind would having critical illness cover bring you?
  • How comfortable are you with taking on monthly premiums now for a potential future payout?
