Critical Illness Cover

If your doctor diagnosed you today with cancer, a heart problem or suffering from a serious illness, would it turn you from being independent to becoming reliant on others?

According to the Imperial Cancer Research Fund found in 1999, 1 in 3 people in Britain will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their life.

Critical Illness Insurance provides a lump sum on diagnosis. This gives you peace of mind knowing you can spend precious time with your family and still meet financial commitments. Can you afford not to protect yourself?

The one-off lump sum payment you recieve from critical illness cover and life insurance policies are designed to help support you adapt to these major life-changing illnesses. If you have a stroke, you may need to adapt your car or buy a bigger car to make it easier to get around. After recovering enough from illness you may be unable to get the same job you previously had so you may need funds to retrain for a different occupation.

We would recommend you include critical illness cover with term life insurance in your mortgage protection policy so if should the worse does happen you'd have cover. Critical Illness Cover protects you financially by paying a lump sum if you're diagnosed with any of these specified illnesses; cancer, heart attacks, strokes, permanent and or total disability, paralysis, major organ transplants and coronary artery bypass surgery. If you have taken critical illness cover your mortgage payments will be repaid for you.

Over the last few years critical illness insurance in the UK has become more popular, mainly due to the large increase in coronary problems. Over the last decade workers in the UK have begun to work longer and harder than most European countries resulting in more stressful lifestyle than that on the continent. As a result of this increase a large percentage of men in the UK will die of a heart related problem. The second most common cause of death is cancer which is also increasing in the United Kingdom.
