Critical Illness Insurance is used in a lump sum when a large health event such as certain forms of cancer, heart attack, or a stroke occurs. It provides a financial blanket if you get sick from any of the diseases listed in the policy. Not all serious illnesses are covered in every policy, however, your policy terms will have more information on this.
Sometimes a claim may be rejected because the applicant does not disclose certain health conditions at the time of application. This does not apply to conditions that you did not know or were not present at the time of application.
If the condition is mentioned in the policy, the lump sum is paid. This applies even if they have or can return to work.
What the claimant does with the lump sum, is entirely up to them. Many use the money to repay their mortgage, pay for medical care or make any developments to their home.
If you are looking into protection advice in Middlesbrough, itās always recommended to speak with a qualified protection specialist prior to taking out any type 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 specialist advisor in Middlesbrough will help you find the most favourable deal.
You are more likely to survive the types of conditions covered than they were 30 years ago. Unfortunately, if you get sick with any of the conditions, this can cause financial difficulties, especially if you have a mortgage, children or large credit commitments.

As first-time buyers, we had very little knowledge of the mortgage process and found it quite daunting, especially with rising interest rates and uncertainty in the property market. Weāre extremely grateful to Dinah and Jo for their support and would highly recommend UK Moneyman to any first-time buyer looking for a professional, knowledgeable and supportive mortgage broker.

As first-time buyers, we had very little knowledge of the mortgage process. We changed properties along the way, and our circumstances made the mortgage process more complex than we initially expected. Dinah and Jo were absolutely brilliant throughout. We would definitely recommend UK Moneyman to anyone looking to set up a mortgage.

Leo and Lizzi were exceptionally helpful. Leo gave us great advise, not just on products available, but on things like bidding on properties, whether we were likely to be approved for more complicated properties etc. Lizzi was very communicative and thorough in processing our application, and after our first sale fell through we didn't hesitate to use UK Moneyman again. Thanks so much to Leo and Lizzi!
