As we live for longer, we are more likely to suffer a heart attack, cancer, stroke, kidney failure, or other illness that can knock us down but not necessarily out.

Indeed, the chances are you know someone who has suffered from one of these conditions.

Critical Illness insurance comes into its own when you survive a serious illness but:

• you are not well enough to earn your living or
• you feel (or your doctor suggests) a few months' break from work would be sensible

In fact it's likely that your living costs will increase due to:

• ongoing treatment and nursing care
• adapting your home to your new physical condition
