Can I add Critical Illness cover to my Life Insurance policy?

Yes you can.

Critical illness insurance is an extremely effective form of insurance - whether you combine it into your Life Insurance policy (which is by far the cheapest way to buy both types of insurance) or you take out separate policies (which gives you far more protection).

It's important to note that if you combine Life Insurance and Critical Illness policy on one policy and you make a critical illness claim, the policy is finished and will not pay out again if you were to die.

If you want Life Insurance cover to continue after a Critical Illness claim, then you will need to take out separate policies for Life Insurance and Critical Illness. This will be more expensive but the two policies will give you full cover until the day you die.
