Do I need Critical Illness cover and if so how much cover would I require?
Critical Illness insurance would be suitable for just about anyone especially if you would suffer financially if you were to get a critical illness or become permanently and totally disabled.
If you suffered such an illness you would be able to obtain cover that would allow you to receive a lump sum to help with recuperation, medical costs, payment of your mortgage, regular payments to replace your income or even a sum to pay for modifications to your home such as widening your doors for a wheelchair if you were to become permanently disabled.
If you have children and one was diagnosed with a critical illness and was in a hospital many miles away it is likely that you would want to stay with them or at the very least visit them everyday. Could you afford to do that? Most Critical illness policies include benefits that are paid out if one of your children should suffer in this manner at no extra cost without affecting your own personal benefits from the policy.
The cost of the cover is normally calculated from the level of the benefit, however if you have a budget in mind companies will calculate a level of benefit from whatever you feel you can afford. Some companies have a minimum premium for this benefit of £5.00 each month, so the cover can start at an affordable level.
