The policyholder can use the benefit to pay for medical expenses, make up for lost income, or cover other costs associated with the illness; even pay off all or some of a mortgage, it’s up to you.  

 

The terms of the policy, including the specific illnesses covered, will vary depending on the insurer and the policy – it’s vital to take advice from a suitably qualified mortgage and protection adviser to ensure the cover meets your needs
