Critical illness cover

Critical illnesses have the potential to turn your life upside down unexpectedly. We all hope it won’t happen to use, but what would happen to your family’s finances if you became seriously unwell? It’s important to consider if your loved ones would be able to pay the mortgage, rent or other household bils - if they couldn’t, critical illness cover could be for you.

What’s covered with Cignpost Critical Illness cover?
