How does Critical Illness Cover work?

Our Critical Illness Cover can be added to Life Insurance or Decreasing Life Insurance for an extra cost. It could pay out a cash sum if you’re diagnosed with, or undergo a medical procedure for one of the specified critical illness that we cover during the length of your policy, and you survive for 14 days from diagnosis

  • The cash sum could be used to help with child care costs, household bills or to help maintain your standard of living if you're forced to take time off work to recover
  • Children's Critical Illness Cover is automatically included. Terms and conditions apply

Who needs Critical Illness Cover?

A critical illness can affect anyone at any age and can turn lives upside down. In the event of being unable to work due to critical illness, having a back-up plan in place can alleviate some of the financial stress of the situation. Some people may use their savings to supplement their loss of income, others may rely on an employment benefit package, while others may find that Critical Illness Cover is their best option.
