It's when you need to make a claim that you realise just how wise investing in a critical illness policy can be.
Considering just how many lives are affected by critical illnesses such as heart disease, cancer and stroke, it is surprising that more people do not take out critical illness insurance.
The principle is straightforward; in the event of one or more of the specified illnesses being diagnosed, the insurance company will pay out a lump sum after a specified survival period. Often, critical illness cover is combined with other types of insurance and may even provide an investment element so that, for example, a given sum will be paid out on the death of the insured.
Note - Critical illness policies should be checked as only some forms of cancer, heart attack and stroke are covered by this type of insurance.
IF THE POLICY HAS NO INVESTMENT ELEMENT THEN IT WILL HAVE NO CASH IN VALUE AT ANY TIME AND WILL CEASE AT THE END OF THE TERM. IF PREMIUMS ARE NOT MAINTAINED, THEN COVER WILL LAPSE.
CRITICAL ILLNESS PLANS MAY NOT COVER ALL THE DEFINITIONS OF A CRITICAL ILLNESS. THE DEFINITIONS VARY BETWEEN PRODUCT PROVIDERS AND WILL BE DESCRIBED IN THE KEY FEATURES AND POLICY DOCUMENT IF YOU GO AHEAD WITH A PLAN.
IFA Financial Services have provided me with mortgage and pension advice over a number of years. They have consistently provided a highly professional and efficient service in an extremely friendly and approachable manner. Advice, whenever needed, is readily given and clearly explained. I feel that my financial affairs are in very safe hands and on this basis I would recommend then to anyone.
The staff were very friendly and helpful to ease us through this process. Thank you all very much for sorting out this for me and if I need any help in the future I know where to come.
Allowing IFA to guide my husband and I with our finances is one of the best decisions I have made. I feel secure with arrangements for my pension and savings. You know they are genuinely interested in helping when they advise you to leaving certain savings where they are rather than them taking control.
I had paid little attention to my pension arrangements during a working life where I ran several of my own companies and was both was self-employed and an employee for periods. Frankly I was suspicious of “financial advisers” during the bad old days of the 70s, 80s and 90s when they were nothing more than insurance salesman more motivated by commission payments than their clients’ well-being.
We were recommended to IFA by a friend as I was in need of advice about my pension arrangements. I am happy to say that the advice we received has proved very beneficial and although our circumstances have changed quite a few times since our first meeting in 2016 we have found IFA to be helpful in discussing our new needs and prompt in meeting our requirements.
