CRITICAL ILLNESS COVER
What is Critical Illness Cover?
Critical illness cover gives you financial protection should you be diagnosed with a serious illness.
Do you know how you would cope financially if you were unable to work and still having to support your family, and pay the day to day bills, such as a mortgage or credit card payments?
Critical illness insurance will pay out a lump sum, upon diagnosis of one of the conditions listed on your policy. All policies include as standard cover for a heart attack, stroke and cancer. Many policies offer more comprehensive protection that covers you for a wider range of illnesses. Critical illness is usually added on to a life insurance policy and the length of the cover is defined by you, often for the length of a mortgage or whilst your children are financially dependent on you.

What’s not covered on Critical Illness Insurance?
Like with any insurance policy there are circumstances where a policy may not pay-out on diagnosis of an illness; such as contracting a condition that is not listed on your policy, if you pass away within a certain number of days following diagnosis (a separate life insurance policy would be required for this), or not keeping up with your payments. Discuss your requirements with our team and they can show you different cover options to suit your needs.

So what type of cover do you need?
INCREASING COVER
Is designed to cover you for rises in inflation. As the cover amount increases, so will your premium payments. This is suggested for those looking to cover increases in salary or additional livings costs, such as a rise in mortgage repayments or education costs.
DECREASING COVER
A decreasing policy will cover payments such as a mortgage or loans/credit cards. These debts will reduce over the length of the policy, the more of the balance you pay off. Overtime, the premiums will reduce as the amount of cover you leave behind lowers.
