What is Critical Illness Insurance?

Critical illness insurance is an insurance policy you may not necessarily think to buy, until it’s sometimes too late. It is long term insurance cover that helps protect you if you become critically ill during the term of the policy. 

Paid out in a tax-free lump sum, it can be used however you would prefer, whether that is to help you to cover health-related costs, paying for alterations such as wheelchair access in your home or cover the loss of income while you focus on getting better. 

Critical illness insurance can cover many different types of serious illnesses, many of which at least one in two people will suffer from during their lifetime. If you do get a specific medical condition or injury that is listed within the insurer’s listed conditions, then the provider will pay out the insured amount.

Critical illness and life insurance policies are often combined together, in order to ensure that you are able to take care of yourself and your family in the event of a death or serious illness.

Do I need Critical Illness Insurance cover?

When it comes to health, you can’t always know what is going to happen, however you can make sure you are financially prepared if anything does. Being struck with an illness can mean that your finances are immediately affected, particularly if you are no longer able to work. 

Expenses that you would need to cover if you were critically ill and couldn’t work, such as rent, mortgages or general bills, can be covered by critical illness insurance, helping to take away any financial worries while you are recovering or having treatment.

Government benefits might not be sufficient to replace your income if you do fall ill and cannot work because of long-term sickness or injuries. If you are eligible, Employment and Support Allowance ranges from around £70 to just over £100 a week, depending on your circumstances and the seriousness of your illness or disability.

Therefore, you should look to get critical illness cover if you do not have the savings to tide you over, if you do by chance become seriously ill or disabled.

What Critical Illness Insurance cover is right for me?

We will always advise you to take out the most comprehensive cover available, but depending on what illnesses you would prefer covered and how much you are able to afford in your monthly premiums each policy is different.

    • Certain types and stages of cancer
    • Conditions such as multiple sclerosis.
