Legal & General has updated its Critical Illness (CI) and Critical Illness Extra (CI Extra) products, adapting its cover for cancer and altering its children’s cover.
COVER
Alan Lakey, director, CIExpert, said: "L&G was in danger of falling behind its competitors in the quality stakes, however the changes introduced to its Extra plan have regained its position amongst the elite.
"Removing the exclusion for stage 1 thyroid cancer is a major move as is the addition of a new severe mental illness condition. Severe bowel disease consolidates Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis with other conditions such as pancreatitis and intestinal ischaemia. Adding less advanced cancer of the skin and increasing the additional payment maximum to £35,000 and children's cover to £40,000 are all very welcome."
