Critical illness cover is a long-term insurance policy covering severe illnesses listed within a policy.
At the time of taking out the policy, you will need to disclose any underlying medical conditions. This may result in some illnesses getting excluded from the cover. Failure to disclose any underlying medical conditions could make the policy void in the event of a claim.
This illness policy will pay out a one-off payment that will help pay for your mortgage, medical care or make modifications to your home, should you need it.
If you are seeking critical illness insurance in Leeds, our expert protection and mortgage advisors in Leeds are here to help you.
If you are looking into Protection Advice in Leeds, it’s 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. Looking into mortgage advice in Leeds will help you find the most favourable deal.
There is a higher chance of you surviving the types of conditions covered than it was 30 years ago. If you do unfortunately become ill with any of the conditions, this can create financial hardship, especially if you have a mortgage, children or any large credit commitments.
Critical illness insurance will pay out if you get one of the specific medical conditions or injuries listed in the policy.
Please be aware that the policy will cover not all instances of a particular illness. The policy will state what specific conditions are covered and define these in the policy documentation.
We tend to find some customers confuse critical illness cover with life insurance. Although they can be purchased together, they are entirely different in terms of what they cover.
What the claimant does with the lump sum, is entirely up to them. As a trusted mortgage broker in Leeds, we see many use the money to repay their mortgage, pay for medical care or make any developments to their home.
Our qualified protection and mortgage advisors in Leeds aim open and honest communication when assisting you in obtaining critical illness cover. We strive to ensure that your policy aligns precisely with your unique needs and preferences.
Critical illness cover often carries higher costs due to its comprehensive coverage of a wide range of illnesses and disabilities. Our mortgage advisors in Leeds will provide a thorough explanation of the policy’s details and workings. They will explore all available options to determine the most suitable fit for your specific situation. If another policy type would be more advantageous, they will transparently inform you.

With today’s medical advances, if you get critically ill, you are more likely to survive and recover. As mentioned, the lump sum can be used for anything. Some people use it to fund recovery, pay bills and relieve general financial stress.
Joint critical illness cover is an option that is there for if you or your partner gets critically ill, providing you with the funds you need. The one drawback for this is that it will pay out in full, even if only one of you gets critically ill.
Critical Illness cover is paid out in a lump sum if you become ill with any of the conditions listed on the policy. This is done to support you and your family, whereas income protection is paid out in the form of an ongoing income. This is helpful in the event of being unable to work and has the option to be paid all the way to retirement age.
Unlike critical illness cover, income protection will be guaranteed to pay out if you are unable to work. This will be carried on until you are able to work again or if you die.
