Most people don’t dwell on the prospect of being diagnosed with a critical illness, for obvious reasons. But that also means lots of us might not have considered whether or not we should have insurance in case the worst happens to us. 

In fact, we’re probably not completely aware of the financial impact a diagnosis could have on us and our households – especially if you need to take time off work because of it, which is pretty likely. The reality is: the impact can be significant, especially if you’ve got financial commitments (like a mortgage) or financial dependents (like a partner or children) that could be affected. 

This is where critical illness cover can help. It provides a financial cushion, and peace of mind, in case a critical diagnosis could have significant – or even catastrophic – financial consequences in your life.
