Critical illness cover is designed to reduce the financial burden of those who suffer from a serious illness, such as cancer or heart attack.
Policyholders who become seriously ill or totally disabled receive a tax-free lump sum, although there is usually a one month wait after becoming critically ill before being able to make a claim, however this can vary from policy to policy.
Choosing the right critical illness policy is paramount, as each policy will have its own restrictions in terms of the definition of critical illness, and what is covered when making a claim.
