Healthy move: plan to be ill
Article Abstract:
Income protection products, sometimes called permanent health insurance, offer the policyholder a regular monthly income if he or she becomes unable to work because of illness or disability. In contrast, a critical illness policy offers a lump sum on diagnosis of any of a number of critical illnesses. Claims on permanent health insurance can sometimes be difficult, particularly if a condition is hard to prove. Claims are much more straightforward on critical illness policies, with payment depending on proof of having the condition, not on proof of being unable to work.
