What is Critical Illness Cover and When Would I Need It?

Critical illness insurance is a long-term policy that covers specific serious illnesses, including heart attack, stroke and certain types of cancer. It offers a one-off tax free lump sum payment that can help pay for mortgage payments, rent, debt or required home alterations, such as wheelchair access, that have to be made as a result of an illness or injury. The payments that such a policy offers can be a huge help at a stressful time, and vital for ongoing practicalities.

What to Bear in Mind

How much cover do you need, and how long will you need it for? You might want to take a look at your budget and think about how much money your household would need to cover living expenses and mortgage payments. Then you might also consider how your or their needs will change over time – as children move out, or you pay off your mortgage, your liabilities will decrease, and so could your cover requirements.
