With the additional dangers that come with being a member of the armed forces understandably many soldiers want to provide for their families financially should they become critically ill or die. The cost of cover will be determined by factors such as the nature of your role in the armed forced and the level of risk involved.
Life Insurance is designed to provide a lump sum to your dependents (nominated by you) following death whilst Critical Illness cover is designed to provide financial benefits following diagnosis of a serious medical condition which will be outlined in the policy documentation.
Examine life and critical illness insurance quotes carefully and check the small print, as some may not offer you the full cover you need.
