Legal & General expand Group Critical Illness Cover for customers

-

Legal & General is proud to announce upgraded improvements to their award-winning Group Critical Illness Cover.

Legal & General’s Group Critical Illness Cover will now also include cover for aplastic anaemia, bacterial meningitis, cardiomyopathy, encephalitis and liver failure. In addition, the survival period has also been reduced from 30 to 14 days for most illnesses.

In addition to this, Legal & General are also increasing the value of support available to claimants. Their maximum benefit can now be up to five times scheme earnings or £500,000 whichever is less. With these changes, hopefully, those unfortunate enough to suffer a critical illness, the burden of financial worried will be eased.

Commenting on the changes, Vanessa Sallows, Underwriting and Benefits Director, Group Protection, Legal & General said:
