Critical Illness Insurance pays out a lump sum if you are diagnosed with one of the conditions on the policy such as Cancer, Heart Attack or Stroke. Sometimes Insurers receive criticism for declining claims when someone is very ill but with an illness not covered on their policy but most major providers actually pay out over 90% of claims.
If claims are denied it can also be because the claimant did not disclose an underlying medical condition they have when they took the policy out.
In the event of a claim the lump sum is paid out irrespective of whether the claimant returns to work or not, the key thing is whether the illness they had matched the definition on their policy.
The claimant can use the lump sum they receive for any purpose they wish. Be this to repay their mortgage, pay for medical care or make modifications to their home.
Different insurers cover different illnesses on their policies and it’s wise to take advice prior to selecting a policy. This will ensure that you end up with one that is suitable for your needs. Critical Illness Insurance is much more expensive than life cover because the chances of you making a claim are far higher.
Your chances of surviving the types of conditions covered are far higher than they were 30 years ago. However, if you are unfortunate enough to contract one of them then there are often financial consequences. Hence the popularity of the cover, especially for applicants who have mortgages or children to think about.
You are more likely to claim on Critical Illness Cover than you would be with Life Insurance, so this can be more costly. Your protection and mortgage advisor in Nottingham will help you find the most favourable deal.
It’s very important to us that all of our customers are given an equal opportunity to take insurance our through ourselves. We wouldn’t be doing our job right if we didn’t mention it!
We offer all of our customers a free, no-obligation protection review where we’ll have a look at any existing policies you have in place and assess their suitability. We’ll then recommend which products, including critical illness and income protection that meet your needs. If required, we’ll then tailor the plan to match your available monthly budget.
What the claimant does with the lump sum, is entirely up to them. As a trusted mortgage broker in Nottingham, we see many use the money to repay their mortgage, pay for medical care or make any developments to their home.
Critical illness cover is an insurance policy that pays you a lump sum if you are diagnosed with a serious illness listed in the policy, such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke. The money can be used to cover medical expenses, replace lost income, or support your family during your recovery.
When you purchase a critical illness policy, you will pay regular premiums to the insurance company. If you are diagnosed with a covered critical illness during the policy term, you will be eligible to receive a lump sum payment from the insurance company.
It’s important to note that critical illness cover policies may have specific terms, exclusions, waiting periods, and payout conditions. It’s essential to carefully review the policy details and consult with the insurance provider to understand how the coverage works specifically.
Speaking with a protection specialist in Nottingham is important when considering critical illness cover because our team will provide expert guidance, customise recommendations based on your needs, compare policies from different providers, simplify the application process, and offer ongoing support throughout the policy’s duration.

Critical illness cover and life insurance serve different purposes. Critical illness cover provides a lump sum payout if you’re diagnosed with a severe illness, while life insurance pays out only upon death.
Critical illness cover helps with medical expenses and treatments, replaces income if you’re unable to work, and offers flexibility in choosing coverage amounts and specific illnesses to be covered.
Life insurance primarily focuses on providing a death benefit. Deciding whether to have critical illness cover alongside life insurance depends on your personal circumstances and financial goals.
Consulting with a mortgage and protection advisor in Nottingham can help you make an informed choice.
Joint critical illness cover is an option that is there for if you or your partner gets critically ill, providing you with the funds you need. The one drawback for this is that it will pay in full, even if only one of you gets seriously ill.
If you have any of the conditions listed in the policy, you will be paid a lump sum of critical illness coverage. This is done to support you and your family, while income protection is paid in the form of ongoing income. This is useful in the event of being unable to work and has the option to be paid to retirement age.
Unlike critical illness cover, income protection will be guaranteed to pay out if you are unable to work. This will be carried on until you are able to work again or pass away.
