Critical Illness

Do I need it?

No one can predict the future but with the statistics now showing that 1 in 2 people will suffer from Cancer in their lives. There is a pretty large chance that you could become seriously ill at some stage in you life. While you are fit and healthy is actually the best time to get plans in place and protect your loved ones should the worst happen.

What is it?

Critical illness insurance provides you with a lump sum of money if you are diagnosed with certain illnesses or disabilities.

The kinds of illnesses that are covered are usually long-term and very serious conditions such as a heart attack or stroke, loss of arms or legs, or diseases like cancer, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease.

If being ill has left you out of pocket, it can be really handy to have a large sum of money to spend on things like everyday expenses, paying off your mortgage or your medical expenses. You can use the money in any way you like, you don’t have to spend it on anything in particular.

Why get advice?

71% of all policies come from independent advice (ABI 2019). It pays to speak to someone who knows what they are doing before choosing your cover. This can save any unfortunate circumstances in the future if you have taken out the wrong policy.
