The lump sum benefit is paid only if the policyholder survives for a specified period, usually 28 days, from the date of diagnosis. The benefit does not have to be repaid even if the policyholder survices the illness.
The main benefit of this type of policy is that it can be used to fully or partly repay the mortgage. Or it can be used to replace lost income during illness.
