Often arranged in conjunction with Life Assurance, Critical Illness Cover is designed to help protect you from the financial hardship that a serious illness can cause.

If you’re diagnosed with a significant health problem, such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke, your financial concerns could be taken away, helping you focus on what really matters – getting better.

A tax-free lump sum will be paid if you are diagnosed with any one of a number of specified illnesses.  It can be used to repay all or part of your mortgage, pay for home alterations or specialist equipment, help meet the cost of private treatment, whatever you decide.
