Your family relies on your health and income, and a serious illness could affect both.

It pays out a one-off lump sum you can use however you need, whether covering your mortgage, household bills, private treatment, or simply taking time off work to recover.

If the unexpected happens, this payment can relieve financial pressure and give you space to focus on your health, not your finances.

Whether you’re arranging cover for the first time or reviewing an existing policy, we’ll ensure it fits your needs and budget. No pressure, no jargon, just clear, caring advice to help you make a confident decision.

Many people choose to combine Critical Illness Cover with life assurance or income protection for more complete peace of mind.

You’ll receive a lump sum if you’re diagnosed with an illness listed in your policy, typically including cancer, heart attack, stroke, and other major conditions.

The payout is yours to use in any way, to cover your mortgage, pay for treatment, take time off work, or adapt your home if needed.

Policies only pay out for specific conditions, usually only if they meet a defined severity level. That’s why getting advice and choosing the right policy is essential.

Critical Illness Cover pays out once, whereas income protection pays a monthly income if you can’t work due to illness. Many people choose to have both for broader protection.

We’ll help you understand what’s covered, how much you might need, and whether combining this with other types of cover makes sense for you and your family.

Cancer is bad enough, cancer and losing your home is worse, and avoidable
