Why Take Critical Illness cover?
Critical illness cover will pay out a tax free lump sum on diagnosis of a defined critical illness. Should you suffer a serious illness you may incur a loss or reduction of income, increased child care costs and expensive medical treatments. The lump sum can give you the means to help pay for home alterations or specialist equipment, provide an income, fund specialist private treatment or fund daily expenses. Many providers will include children’s critical illness cover at no extra cost.
