Critical Illness Cover is designed to provide financial support if you are diagnosed with a specified serious illness. It can help reduce financial pressure at a difficult time, allowing you to focus on your recovery rather than your finances.
What is Critical Illness Cover?
Critical Illness Cover pays a tax-free lump sum if you are diagnosed with one of the illnesses or medical conditions specified in the policy and meet the insurer’s definition. Commonly covered conditions may include certain types of cancer, heart attack, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and kidney failure, although cover varies between providers.
The payout can be used for any purpose, such as repaying your mortgage, covering medical or rehabilitation costs, or supporting your household while you adjust to changes in income.
