For most of us, the importance of having critical illness cover in place doesn't become clear until we have to make a claim yet, the average age of male claimants is 43 and the average age of female claimants is 40.

Every 2 minutes someone in the UK suffers a heart attack – that’s over 270,000 each year.*
Each year over 100,000 people in England & Wales have a stroke for the first time – about 10,000 of these are under retirement age.**
1 in 3 people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime.***

Whilst we cannot prevent the occurrence of a critical illness or condition but we can help you to reduce the financial impact such a crisis will have.
