Critical Illness Insurance provides a lump sum payment when a major health event occurs, such as certain types of cancer, heart attack, or stroke. It serves as a financial safety net if you become ill with any of the diseases specified in the policy. It’s important to note that not all serious illnesses are covered in every policy, so you should refer to your policy terms for more details.
If the critical illness is explicitly mentioned in the policy, the insured individual receives the lump sum payout regardless of their ability to continue working or return to work.
Once the lump sum is received, the claimant has complete freedom in deciding how to use it. Some choose to utilise the money to pay off their mortgage, while others may opt to use funds towards covering medical expenses, or make necessary modifications to their home.
Unfortunately, if you get sick, it can cause financial difficulties, especially if you have a mortgage, children or large credit commitments.
If you are looking into protection advice in Manchester, it is always recommended to speak with a qualified mortgage and protection specialist prior to taking any form of cover.
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 Manchester will help you find the most favourable deal.
Sometimes a claim may be denied due to the claimant not disclosing certain health conditions at the time of application. This does not apply to conditions you were unaware of, or were not present at the time of application.
The lump sum is paid out providing the condition is mentioned in the policy. This applies even if they have or are able to return to work.
What the claimant does with the lump sum, is entirely up to them. As a trusted mortgage broker in Manchester, we see many use the money to repay their mortgage, pay for medical care or make any developments to their home.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The fee is up to 1% but a typical fee is £495.
