Could you and your family cope financially if the worst was to happen and you were to become seriously ill and could not
earn a living?

THINGS ARE GETING BETTER...
THE STATISTICS...
FINANCIAL IMPACT...
But with the good news that survival rates are increasing, the need for financial protection is even more important.
Treatment and recovery will affect the time taken off work, which in turn will have a financial impact.
4 in 5 people with cancer are
financially affected
More than 1 in 3 people who
suffer a heart attack survive
46% decrease
in stroke death rates in the UK
from 1990 to 2010
Having a critical illness cover in place can help ease your recovery by paying out a lump sum or regular
payment when you are diagnosed with a serious illness. This could cover your care and treatment, your
recuperation, help pay off your mortgage or make up for lost income.
Critical illness cover can differ from policy to policy, which is why it is important to take sound advice before
selecting a policy.
