What is Critical Illness Insurance?

Life is unpredictable, and a serious illness can happen when you least expect it. Critical illness cover, also known as mortgage critical illness insurance, is a long-term policy designed to provide financial support if you're diagnosed with a critical illness.
Here’s what you need to know:

Lump Sum Payout: Most policies offer a one-off payment upon diagnosis to help with expenses like your mortgage or other financial commitments.

Varied Coverage Levels: Some policies include additional payouts for less severe conditions, offering more flexible protection.

Different from Life Insurance: While it’s not the same as life insurance, critical illness cover can often be combined with life cover for comprehensive protection.

Considering critical illness cover? Speaking with an advisor is a great starting point. They can guide you through your options and help you find a policy that suits both your needs and budget.

Types of Critical Illness Cover

Critical illnesses can strike without warning, affecting anyone at any time. Having the right cover in place can help reduce the financial impact on you and your loved ones during such challenging times.
Here are the main types of critical illness cover:

  • Additional Cover Policies: Often combined with level term or decreasing term life insurance, this type of cover can provide a payout upon diagnosis of a critical illness and an additional payout if the policyholder passes away during the policy term.
  • Combined Cover Policies: Purchased alongside life insurance, these policies offer a single payout. The insurer will pay out either when a critical illness is diagnosed or upon death—whichever happens first—but not for both.

    It’s important to note that not all conditions are covered, so reviewing the policy details carefully is essential. While critical illness cover differs from life insurance, you can often purchase both together for more comprehensive protection.
    Mortgage critical illness cover offers peace of mind when you need it most. Whether you're buying your first home, upsizing, or downsizing, it can be a valuable safeguard. To explore your options or get a quote tailored to your needs, it’s advisable to speak with a broker who can help you find the right policy for you and your family.
