As with all protection policies it's important to understand the small print.
In the case of Critical Illness Cover (CIC) an important part of these details
are the exclusions.
These vary from provider to provider but for a general idea the following are
likely to be included:
Alcohol or drug abuse
Criminal acts
Flying (except as a commercial passenger)
Extreme sports
HIV/AIDS (unless contracted from a UK blood transfusion);
Living abroad (outside the EU for more than 13 consecutive weeks in any 12 months)
Self-inflicted injury
Unreasonable failure to follow medical advice
War and civil commotion
