Critical illness insurance provides you with a lump sum of money if you are diagnosed with certain illnesses or disabilities. Most people imagine that a serious illness only happens to other people. However the true picture is quite different – 25% of women and 20% of men will suffer from cancer or heart attack before they reach retirement age. We often consider what would happen to our families if we were to die prematurely but rarely consider the effects of a critical illness. Critical illness can have a devastating effect on family, whether just paying for the bills or extra costs in adapting a home or travelling for hospital treatment. In taking out Critical Illness Cover, you will protect your loved ones enabling financial support, should something serious happen to you. Critical Illness Insurance will pay out a lump sum if you are diagnosed with a critical illness, the most common of which are heart attack, cancer and stroke.
