If you have a serious medical problem, I would assume you have critical illness insurance. If so, are you aware that it is actually offered in different forms? In this article, I’ll further discuss about acceleration benefit and standalone benefit rider.
Acceleration benefit may grant the policy holder full or part of the total sum insured in the event that a critical illness occurs. The critical illness sum insured may then be paid out as a tax free lump sum. Generally, this plan pays out approximately 50 percent. Nonetheless, any other rate can be fixed at the start of the negotiation. Lastly, you should take note that when the sum had been paid due to critical illness, the total sum may be reduced by the amount paid. As a matter of fact, the premium rates may also decrease.
Like acceleration benefit, the standalone benefit rider may provide a benefit or lump sum in the event that a critical illness occurs. But on the contrary, the sum insured in acceleration benefit will be left unchanged. It can also be possible to receive the critical illness payout in three to five installments. For this cover, the insured person may be required to stay alive for a short period of time. This can be called the survival period and the waiting time may be around two weeks after which the critical illness benefit may be granted.
