Critical Illness Cover Applications
After an application for critical illness cover is submitted containing all your details, an underwriter will view your case. From this an underwriter can either choose to offer your policy at standard, which means you could decide to have immediate cover or a policy, may be rated.
This means that you could pay an additional amount per month depending on your health, occupation or family history. Another option is an underwriter may put an exclusion on the policy, for example this may occur if within your family history, your mother, father, brother or sister has been diagnosed with a illness that feel they would exclude from your policy for example if there is a high risk of you being diagnosed with that specific condition.
No matter what the outcome of the underwriting decision you do not have to take out the cover, however if you do all you would need to do is provide the insurance broker with your bank details and your preferred direct debit collection date.
