Critical Illness Insurance
Critical illness policies are designed to pay out a lump sum or regular income in the event that you are diagnosed with a specified critical illness. The objective of this is to help you fund changes that may need to be made to your lifestyle as a result of the illness.
For example, you may need to move house to be nearer relatives or friends. You may need to make changes to your existing house to meet new mobility requirements, or you may wish to pay off your mortgage and reduce your outgoings.
