LV= have made it known that its special offer of free critical illness cover to income protection insurance customers has been extended until the end of this year.
Initially launched in February, the offer has had positive feedback from LV='s financial advisers and this has led the company to extend the offer for the next eight months. Every new customer that takes out an LV= Flexible Protection Plan by 31 December 2009 will receive free lump sum critical illness cover, which is equivalent to three times their monthly income protection benefit .
Chris McFarlane, LV= head of protection, said: "Our extended offer will provide lump-sum financial relief following the diagnosis of a critical illness like cancer, coupled with a regular income in the case of a stress related illness, for example."
In other news, Tesco have announced that it is changing the structure of its health insurance policies, however all customers will still be covered for cancer treatment .
