Critical Illness Cover – For Serious Medical Conditions
Critical Illness Cover (CIC) eases the financial pressure you are likely to experience if you are diagnosed with a life-threatening health issue. Should you suffer from a serious medical condition such as a stroke, heart attack or cancer, a cash lump sum would be paid out to you tax-free. This could be used to pay off a mortgage, clear other debts, make alterations to your home or even take a holiday to help with your recovery.
What Would Happen If I Fell Sick?
- You’re given a cancer diagnosis. After surviving a specified period of time, usually 14 – 30 days, you would receive a tax-free cash lump sum.
- You’re unable to work for a long time. You can use the cash lump sum to pay your mortgage, bills or debts.
- You don’t know when or if you can return to work. Whether you can return to work or not, you will still receive the benefit.
