Request a consultationIs it worth having critical illness cover?
Yes, it’s worth having critical illness insurance. Living through the Covid-19 pandemic we’ve all seen what serious illness can do. Here’s why critical illness cover is worth considering:
Unexpected does happen
It’s hard to think of critical illness insurance when you’re in good health.
But imagine you’ve suffered a life-threatening illness such as cancer, stroke or heart attack. Your sick pay has stopped and if you’re self-employed you might not have any income at all.
Time out for treatment
During this time, you’re having tests, waiting for results, undergoing treatment and recovering at home or in hospital.
It could be years until you’re able to return to work and you might not be able to go back to the same occupation you had before, due to disability. The last thing you want to be worrying about is money.
Financial support
How would you and your family cope financially during this time?
Critical illness cover pays out a lump sum to be used any way you like – pay off all or some of your mortgage, return to work part-time, stop working altogether or buy private medical care to ensure the best chance of a good recovery.
