Critical Illness

This policy pays a lump sum benefit upon the diagnosis of a major life threatening disease or illness. The payment is very prompt and is not dependent upon the condition proving to be fatal.

The financial impact from one of the listed conditions (including cancer and heart attack) is likely to be considerable unless you are fortunate to have significant savings to pay households bills and maintain a reasonable quality of life during any period you are unable to work. There may be a requirement for specialist care which is one of many areas of additional expenditure that can be protected against.

This form of protection is separate from and does not influence any payments normally due under a Life Assurance policy.
