What is Critical Illness cover in Durham?

Critical Illness Insurance offers a lump-sum payment in the event of significant health issues, such as specific forms of cancer, heart attacks, or strokes. It provides financial support for the diseases outlined in your policy. Keep in mind that not all serious illnesses are covered, and your policy will contain specific details.

As a protection broker in Durham, we tend to find that a claim might be denied if the applicant fails to disclose certain health conditions during the application process. This exclusion does not apply to conditions unknown or absent at the time of application.

If the condition is covered by the policy, the lump sum is paid out, regardless of the ability to return to work. The claimant has full discretion on how to use the lump sum. Many people choose to pay off their mortgage, cover medical expenses, or invest in home improvements.

Why look into Critical Illness cover in Durham?

When seeking protection and protection advice in Durham, it’s essential to consult with a qualified protection specialist before committing to any coverage.

Critical Illness Cover typically has a higher likelihood of claims compared to Life Insurance, which may result in higher costs. Your protection and mortgage advisor in Durham will assist you in finding the most advantageous deal.

It’s important to note that survival rates for the covered conditions have improved significantly over the past 30 years. However, falling ill with these conditions can still lead to financial difficulties, particularly if you have a mortgage, dependents, or significant credit commitments.

Finding you the Right Critical Illness Deal in Durham

Common Critical Illnes Scenarios in Durham

Why should I get critical illness cover in Durham when I have life insurance?

Can I buy a Critical Illness cover for both me and my partner?

For those seeking added protection, joint critical illness cover is an option to consider. It provides financial support if either you or your partner experiences a critical illness. The advantage is that it pays out in full even if only one of you is affected.

How does critical illness cover differ from income protection?

If you’re diagnosed with any of the conditions outlined in your policy, you’ll receive a lump-sum payment from your critical illness coverage. This payment is designed to assist you and your family. In contrast, income protection offers ongoing income in the event you’re unable to work due to illness or injury. It can be paid until you reach retirement age. Unlike critical illness cover, income protection guarantees payment if you’re unable to work, whether you recover or, in the worst case, pass away.
