Critical illness cover can provide financial security during a difficult time, and you can use a lump sum payout in any way you see fit, giving you flexibility when dealing with the financial impact of a serious illness, safe in the knowledge you are covered.

What illnesses are covered
under a critical illness plan?
Common illnesses covered included cancer, heart attack, stroke and multiple sclerosis. Each individual insurer will have a list of their own illnesses that they cover and specific definitions and severity levels. Therefore it is important to take advice before selecting a critical illness cover plan.
How much critical illness
cover do I need?
forever home mortgages will work with you to determine the amount of critical illness cover you require. Factors such as the size of mortgage and other debts, or any income you may need to replace whilst ill, through to modifications you may need to make to your home are important to help determine the amount of critical illness cover you need.
When does critical
illness pay out?
Whilst this depends on the individual insurer, typically a critical illness policy will pay out ten days after you are diagnosed with a critical illness that is covered by the policy you have taken. The amount that is paid out may depend on the severity of the illness you have suffered so it is important to understand the cover you take.
Is critical illness worth it?
Whether critical illness cover is worth it depends on your individual circumstances, including your health, financial situation, and risk tolerance. It can provide financial security during illness, pay off a mortgage or other debts or give you the flexibility you might need on diagnosis of a covered critical illness. We can recommend suitable levels of cover depending on your personal circumstances.
