Life & Critical Illness cover

It's a difficult subject, but what would happen if you were diagnosed with a critical illness? Or if you were to pass away, what would happen to the people you love the most?

With the Personal Protection Plan, provided by Royal London, depending on which option you choose, you'll receive life and critical illness insurance to give your loved ones some financial security if the worst happens.

Why choose the Personal Protection Plan (provided by Royal London)?

  • Choose the length of plan and a level of cover that suits you from life cover and/or critical illness cover
  • Critical illness benefit covers a wide range of critical illnesses, including heart attack, stroke and cancer. There are exclusions, limitations and restrictions to the cover including some less advanced types of cancer,
  • Receive a payout if you’re diagnosed with a ‘Total Permanent Disability’ meeting the definitions and you are unable to work
  • Terminal Illness benefit pays out a lump sum if you’re diagnosed as being terminally ill and meet the terminal illness definition. 
  • Additional benefits – when you take out critical illness benefit, this will include life cover to the same value as the critical illness benefit and children’s critical illness benefit for up to £20,000 per child (or 50% of the sum assured if it’s less)
  • Rate guarantee – the cost of your life or critical illness insurance will never rise during the term of your plan unless you increase your cover
