what about the children?

If you were unfortunate enough for your child to develop a critical illness it is very likely that you would need considerable time off work and probably a great deal of extra help too. If there are other children in the family, there will no doubt be child care costs to consider whilst you're attending to a very sick child.

Insurance cover for children can start as early as 3 months of age with some insurance companies, although you may have to wait until the child is three before ( cheap secured loans ) cover starts with others. Fortunately, with most policies, it's standard practice to include your children, but you need to check on this to make sure. It is possible that your insurer will not offer this cover at all - National Westminster, Halifax and Nationwide Life being three of these.

If your insurers do cover your children within your policy, they will ( motor insurance ) automatically cover all of them, so once the policy is in force there is no need to inform the insurer of the addition/s to your family. Similarly when you start your family the child will be automatically included when he or she reaches the specified age.

Assuming you are covered, the way critical illness cover works ( car insurance quotations ) for your child is that a tax free lump sum will be paid out if your child is diagnosed with a really serious illness. This will need to be one included in the policy schedule. There is a proviso that the child survives at least 4 weeks from the date of the illness being diagnosed.
