Critical illness insurance
Critical illness insurance usually pays a one off, tax free lump sum, if you are diagnosed with a specified critical illness covered during the term of the policy. The range and types of critical illnesses covered vary from policy to policy, so check this before you buy. You can choose both the length of the policy and the level of cover, although restrictions may apply.
