Illness
If your doctor diagnosed you today with cancer, a heart problem
or suffering from a serious illness, would it turn you from being
independent to becoming reliant on others?
According to the Imperial Cancer Research Fund found in 1999,
1 in 3 people in Britain will be diagnosed with cancer at some
point in their life. Protect yourself by speaking to one of our

The one-off lump sum payment you recieve from critical illness
cover and life insurance policies are designed to help support
you adapt to these major life-changing illnesses. If you have
a stroke, you may need to adapt your car or buy a bigger car to
make it easier to get around. After recovering enough from illness
you may be unable to get the same job you previously had so you
may need funds to retrain for a different occupation.
We would recommend you include critical illness cover with term
life insurance in your mortgage protection policy so if should
the worse does happen you'd have cover. Critical Illness Cover
protects you financially by paying a lump sum if you're diagnosed
with any of these specified illnesses; cancer, heart attacks,
strokes, permanent and or total disability, paralysis, major organ
transplants and coronary artery bypass surgery. If you have taken
critical illness cover your mortgage payments will be repaid for
you.
Over the last few years critical illness insurance in the UK
has become more popular, mainly due to the large increase in coronary
problems. Over the last decade workers in the UK have begun to
work longer and harder than most European countries resulting
in more stressful lifestyle than that on the continent. As a result
of this increase a large percentage of men in the UK will die
of a heart related problem. The second most common cause of death
is cancer which is also increasing in the United Kingdom.
