Life insurance
You can use the money for any purpose you chose including:

Income protection
An income protection policy is designed to payout a regular amount of money should you suffer any illness or accidental injury which affects your ability to earn an income.
The features you require from income protection will directly affect the premium you pay.
Premiums are collected on a regular basis, and you can be covered regardless of how many claims you make.
Critical Illness
Critical Illness Insurance covers you against a number of serious illnesses, diseases, and medical conditions. It usually pays out a single tax-free lump sum on the diagnosis of one of the illnesses specified in the policy details.
Critical Illness Insurance covers an individual for a set period but will only pay out if the customer survives a predetermined time-period following diagnosis as the policy is intended to cover living expenses. This is why this form of insurance is usually combined with Life cover.
You can use the cash payment from the policy for
- Paying off a debt such as a mortgage.
- Providing you with an income if you cannot work.
