Serious Illness

Serious Illness

Serious illness insurance pays you a tax-free lump sum if you are diagnosed with one of the specific illnesses or disabilities that your policy covers, this can also be referred to “critical illness cover”. It is often sold as an extra benefit on life insurance or mortgage protection policy but can also be sold as a separate policy.

If you are thinking about taking out a serious illness insurance policy, it is important to realise that it would not replace your income if you were out of work because of a long-term illness. If you want to protect your income you should consider an income protection policy.

While you could get sick and be unable to work, serious illness insurance will only pay out if the illness is covered by the policy.

The list of illnesses varies between insurers but usually includes stoke and heart attack, some types of cancer, coronary artery disease, multiple sclerosis, kidney failure, motor neurone disease, blindness, major organ transplantation (including being on a waiting list for transplantation), a benign brain tumour and severe burns.

We are happy to discuss your needs and explain the types of serious illness cover available for you, we will explain the term and condition that apply.

Testimonials

Anita Cambie Financial came recommended to me from the some of Waterford’s estate agents and getting her help was the best move I made as regards my first mortgage application. Anita knows her stuff inside out and there was no enquiry too big, small or unusual no matter what time of the day we spoke. She was extremely professional and down to earth throughout the whole process and talked me through everything, and anyone I’ve recommended her to have had the same experience. Cannot speak highly enough of her.

Robert McDonald

Anita has dealt with my mortgage for a number of years now, starting from the initial draw down, and now with switching my mortgage to a new provider. Anita was available to take the call even outside of regular working hours, explain what state the process is on in plain English, what the next steps are and most importantly, Anita dealt with lots of administrative issues in a transparent way. I have recommended Anita’s services to several of my colleagues and would warmly recommend her again without any hesitation.
