What is a critical illness insurance policy?

Critical Illness Insurance pays out a significant sum of money if you are diagnosed with any illnesses covered by your policy.

Imagine facing a critical illness such as cancer, a heart or brain condition – the fight, the worry, the potential income dip that would inevitably follow. Critical illness cover throws you a lifeline; a financial cushion to help you focus on healing, rather than the bills and the stress that could make your condition worse!

Even if you are unable to work due to a serious illness, you are in complete control, and you can decide whether to clear an outstanding mortgage balance, or access invaluable financial help that will cover a few years’ salary.

How does it work?

Critical illness cover can be taken on its own, or alongside a life insurance policy, to fully insulate you against serious illness or death occuring.

You need to work out how much cover you need and specifically what you’d like protection against; areas that the Manor Financial team can help with. From paying down your mortgage, replace your salary for months or a few years whilst you recover, to paying for any specialist medical costs.

Similar to life insurance, you choose the length of your cover. As long as you are diagnosed within the term of the policy, and your diagnosis meets the conditions set by the insurer, it will pay out financially. You can also decrease or increase cover, as well as choose a single or joint plan, to protect your spouse or other family members.

The most common types of critical illness claims are for Cancer, Heart Attacks and Strokes. Depending on your insurer you will be covered for anything up to 180+ conditions. Each insurer will have their own criteria so it’s important to understand the terms and conditions of your plan. Again, this is something the team at Manor Financial can expertly assist you with.

Why take out critical illness cover?

Financial Security – If you became critically ill, a lump sum payment could really help your family through a difficult time, especially when depending on the severity of the illness, you may never be well enough to return to work.

Medical Costs – Depending on your diagnosis you may want the best possible medical help. Critical Illness can provide you with a financial security to ease the cost of private medical bills.

Mortgage – You can choose to have a critical illness policy to clear an outstanding mortgage debt if you are diagnosed as critically ill, giving you peace of mind that you and your family won’t be burdened with mortgage payments along the road to your recovery.

Life insurance vs critical illness cover:

What are the key differences between Life Insurance and Critical Illness Cover?

  • Trigger event: Life insurance pays out upon death, while critical illness cover pays out upon diagnosis of a specific covered illness while alive.
  • Beneficiary: Life insurance benefits go to loved ones after your death, while critical illness benefits go directly to you for your financial support and recovery.
  • Cost: Critical illness cover is generally more expensive due to higher number of claims.
  • Claim type: Life insurance offers a one-time payout, while critical illness cover may offer additional options like childcare cover or staggered payments.
  • Impact on Income: Life insurance: Doesn’t replace your income, but provides a lump sum to help your beneficiaries or loved one copy with the lose of your financial support and lifestyle. Critical illness cover: Doesn’t generally replace your income long-term, but can will cover lost wages or additional expenses during treatment and recovery.
Remember, both are valuable forms of insurance, and the best option and level of cover depends on your individual needs and circumstances.
