Aviva Critical Illness Cover will pay out if you’re diagnosed with or have surgery for an illness that meets our policy definition during the term of the policy and survive for at least 10 days. We only cover the critical illnesses we define in our policy and no others, and there’s no cash in value. You need to be a UK resident aged between 18 and 64 to apply. Cashback is payable after your sixth monthly premium has been received.

* If your child has a critical illness (not a terminal illness), we’ll pay up to £25,000 or 50% of the cover amount (whichever is lower) until they’re 18 (or 21 if they’re in full-time education).

**Available for customers with an existing Aviva branded product. A minimum premium applies, and this discount may be removed or changed at any time.
