New Specified Illness Cover
New Specified Illness Cover
Extra cover – no extra cost
We are delighted that with our extensive enhancements, specified illness cover from Irish Life now offers you the most comprehensive cover available in Ireland.
In fact, the most interesting feature of our new specified illness cover - the NEW partial payment is a first in the Irish market.
· Partial payment benefit of up to €15,000 or half your specified illness benefit, whichever is lower for 10 milder but still life-altering specified illness conditions. This is an independent payout which doesn’t reduce your full specified illness cover benefit. Please see our partial payment page for more details
Lets face it… nobody is invincible. Life is unpredictable! And while we all want to spend our time enjoying ourselves, planning ahead to protect yourself should you suffer from a serious illness is important.
If you were to suffer from an illness and were unable to work, the last thing you would want to worry about is money. Specified illness cover from Irish Life may be the answer!
What is Specified Illness Cover?
Specified illness cover pays out a lump sum if you are diagnosed with one of the 37 specified illnesses we now cover. This lump sum is yours to use as you wish for bills, living costs, whatever matters most.
It’s never too early to start
The unfortunate reality is that an illness can happen at any age.
For example based on our claims experience last year
· The average age of men who received a lump sum payment from us was only 51. Men have a 1 in 4 chance of becoming seriously ill before the age of 65;
· Similarly, women have a 1 in 5 chance of becoming seriously ill before the age of 65. The average age of women who received a lump sum payment from us was only 45.
So you can see, it really makes sense to plan ahead as early as possible. And, the younger you are when you start your cover the less it can cost you.
