The majority of life insurance policies have optional extras that you can opt
for. They will mean that you pay increased premiums but you will receive in return
extended cover and protection. Two common optional extras are critical
illness cover and waiver of premium.
Critical illness cover policies will protect you if you develop a serious illness
such as cancer or cardiac problems. Your policy will list illnesses covered by
critical illness insurance. In the event of your developing a listed illness you
will receive either a lump sum or a regular income. Critical illness cover can
be bought on its own or in addition to every type of life insurance.
Waiver of premium options within UK life insurance policies will protect you
if you are prevented from continuing your normal occupation due to injury or illness.
During this time your insurance company will pay your premiums themselves in order
to keep up the protection you receive from the life insurance policy.
Make sure that you understand all the different types of life insurance policies
available so that you are able to choose wisely and get the right quote for your
needs.
