When it comes to life insurance, you’ve got options
The idea behind any type of life insurance is to have the reassurance that you have financial protection in place for you and your loved ones if the worst happens.
Term life insurance is a type of life cover that lasts for a fixed period of time (known as a ‘term’) – the payment is made all in one go. This type of cover is useful for providing financial security for dependents.
Protect your wealth and provide for your family when you die
A whole-of-life insurance policy is designed to give you a specified amount of cover for the whole of your life and pays out when you die, whenever that is. Some insurers will also let you include critical illness cover if you buy life insurance at the same time, as one, integrated policy.
Critical illness cover can help minimise the financial impact on you and your family if you become critically ill. It’s an option that can also be added for an extra cost to some life insurance policies.
Having enough to pay for what you need now and in the future
Being unable to work can quickly turn our world upside down, as we’ve seen for thousands of people during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic crisis. No one likes to think that something bad will happen to them, but if you couldn’t work due to a serious illness, how would you manage financially?
Since the onset of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, more people have become aware of the importance income protection insurance can offer, as it can provide the financial support needed if you’re unable to work due to an accident or injury.
When life throws you an unexpected challenge, fast diagnosis and treatment are what matter most, along with genuine help, support and understanding. Nothing is more important to you than your health, and the health of your family.
Rising NHS waiting lists alongside the relaxation of COVID restrictions could be driving the surging interest in private healthcare[1]. During the course of the pandemic, private hospitals have supported the NHS by providing their facilities to help the national effort to fight the virus.
