A Guide to Critical Illness Cover

1. Why should I consider buying critical illness cover?

If you, or those who depend on you, would face financial difficulties if you became critically ill (for example if you had cancer, a heart attack or a stroke), you may want to consider taking out critical illness cover.

If you're critically ill, the last thing you'll need is any financial worry like the fear of losing your home because you can't pay your mortgage. Critical illness cover aims to give you peace of mind in these circumstances.

If, you are thinking about buying critical illness cover, the information in this guide aims to help you choose a policy that will meet your needs.
