Level Term Critical Illness
Critical Illness Level Term Assurance pays out a tax-free lump sum on the diagnosis of a specified critical illness. The benefits from the plan can be used to repay any outstanding debts, be invested to provide an income to replace lost earnings and/or modernise your home, e.g. widen doorways, create a downstairs bedroom.
If you were to suffer a heart attack, stroke or cancer and were unable to work, how would you and your family manage financially?
This type of protection is designed to ensure the last thing you will be worrying about is money at a very difficult time. To see what is covered, why not view our Illnesses covered page.

Family Income Benefit Product Overview
Family Income benefit is designed to pay out a specific tax-free income on the diagnosis of a critical illness during the term of the policy. Unlike Level Term Critical Illness cover, Family Income Benefit does not pay out a lump sum, it is designed to replace a level of income.
If you arranged a 20 year Family Income Benefit and were diagnosed with a critical illness at the end of year 3, you would receive the income benefits from the plan for 17 years. If you were diagnosed with a critical illness in year 19, the plan would only pay out for 1 year. At the end of the 20 years the plan would cease with no value.
