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.
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.
Critical illness cover, also known as critical illness insurance or CIC, is a type of insurance policy that provides a lump sum payment if the policyholder is diagnosed with a specific critical illness or medical condition listed in the policy. In Durham, as in other areas, this type of coverage is designed to offer financial protection in the event of serious health issues.
For insurance business we offer products from a range of insurers.

Joseph Harros
As first-time buyers, we had very little knowledge of the mortgage process and found it quite daunting, especially with rising interest rates and uncertainty in the property market. We’re extremely grateful to Dinah and Jo for their support and would highly recommend UK Moneyman to any first-time buyer looking for a professional, knowledgeable and supportive mortgage broker.

As first-time buyers, we had very little knowledge of the mortgage process. We changed properties along the way, and our circumstances made the mortgage process more complex than we initially expected. Dinah and Jo were absolutely brilliant throughout. We would definitely recommend UK Moneyman to anyone looking to set up a mortgage.

Leo and Lizzi were exceptionally helpful. Leo gave us great advise, not just on products available, but on things like bidding on properties, whether we were likely to be approved for more complicated properties etc. Lizzi was very communicative and thorough in processing our application, and after our first sale fell through we didn't hesitate to use UK Moneyman again. Thanks so much to Leo and Lizzi!
