Customer testimonials We're there when it really matters Our Critical Illness Cover can be added for an extra cost when you take out Life Insurance or Decreasing Life Insurance. Critical Illness Cover could pay out a cash sum if you're diagnosed with or undergo a medical procedure for one of our specified critical illnesses during the length of your policy and you survive for 14 days from diagnosis. Leighton's story Leighton is a self employed photographer with a young family and in 2011 he was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Leighton had Critical Illness Cover with us and here he tells us how a smooth claims process and payout made a real difference to him and his family at a difficult time.. The critical illnesses covered include heart attack, cancer and stroke. However, some types of cancer are not included and to make a claim for some illnesses, you need to have permanent symptoms. This is not a savings or investment product and has no cash value unless a valid claim is made. Find out more about Critical Illness Cover.
