What is critical illness cover?
Critical illness cover is designed to pay out a lump sum if you are diagnosed with a specified serious condition during the policy term, subject to policy definitions. The conditions covered and the terms involved will vary between insurers.
My role is to set out the key features so you can understand how critical illness cover works alongside or separately from life insurance. This supports you in making a decision that reflects your circumstances and future plans.
