Practical Protection Podcast - CIC Masterclass (40 mins CPD)

This time I’m joined by Alan Knowles from Cura Financial Services to talk about all things critical illness cover. Alan talks us through case studies of arranging critical illness cover for people who have had disclosures to make, which has resulted in exclusions of premium increases on the policy.

The case studies that Alan explains in depth are critical illness policies:

  • For someone living with multiple sclerosis
  • For someone that had experienced a strong mental health history 
  • and a case study of helping a person make a claim on their critical illness cover policy when they had been told they weren’t eligible.

I’m not going into underwriting or every single thing that makes an insurer unique, it’s just an overview of key parts of their products and services that make them a good choice for your client.
