See how Protection for Life has helped one Scottish Widows customer:
Katie’s story
“We were looking to reduce our outgoings when our Financial Adviser suggested we take out critical illness cover to protect our mortgage. But we trusted her and thank goodness we did. Four months later, aged 43, with two small children, I was diagnosed with breast cancer which was covered in the policy.
The payout was a massive help to my situation. I know that when this is all over, we’ll be working for the family, not just to pay the mortgage. The payout’s taken care of that. It’s also meant that my husband has been able to reduce his hours at work to help me, even though we’ve lost my income.
Without the cover, we’d also be having to deal with moving house, causing so much upheaval for the children. Protection’s been a real positive, getting us through this difficult time.”
This is a real-life story, but the name has been changed to protect the customer’s identity.
