Critical illness cover

Offers quality cover, insuring the equivalent of over 45 conditions. It includes the main conditions that you’re likely to claim for, including cancer, heart attack and stroke – which made up 84% of Aviva’s critical illness claims in 2022¹.

• Group one conditions – the full sum assured will be paid out
• Group two conditions – an additional payment of 25% of the sum assured or £25,000, whichever is lowest will be paid

Affordable protection for kids (3 in 4 child CI claims in 2022 were covered by Core conditions^†). Includes the equivalent of 49+ conditions, hospitalisation benefit and child life cover.

Core children's cover is split into four types of benefit:

• Group one conditions – £25,000 or 50% of the sum assured, whichever is lower, will be paid out
• Group two conditions – £25,000 or 25% of the sum assured, whichever is lower, will be paid out
• Child life cover – £5,000 will be paid out
• Hospitalisation benefit – £100 per night from the seventh consecutive night, up to a maximum of 30 nights

If a parent has more than one cover, this is the maximum we'll pay for each child. If each parent has their own cover, we'll pay a claim on each parent's cover.

We'll pay one claim under each Group per child, at which point the children's critical illness cover ends for that child.
