Critical Illness and enhanced adviser options
OUR ASSESSMENT
The distinction between direct and enhanced adviser products is central to a fair comparison.
Features to compare
- Zurich offers life-with-critical-illness protection with defined-condition lump sums and specified additional-payment conditions.
- Standalone and enhanced illness options are available through an adviser rather than being interchangeable with the direct proposition.
Limitations and checks
- Compare the exact direct or adviser wording and selected children’s benefits. A count of conditions does not measure their breadth.
The question to ask
Which Zurich illness product am I being quoted and how do partial claims affect remaining cover?
Before arranging cover
Use the current policy wording and your quotation schedule to confirm these points. Our assessment is desk research, not a first-hand claims test or a personal recommendation. We have not assigned a product score or established comparable claims-service performance.
