Specified Illness Cover (SIC) pays a tax-free lump sum if you suffer from one of the 36 common conditions covered, the most common being malignant cancer, heart attack and stroke.
WHY DO I NEED SPECIFIED ILLNESS COVER?
Serious illness can strike at any age and you could face increased medical bills with your income reduced because you can't do your normal work.
Statistics show:
• you are four times more likely to suffer one of the conditions covered under this scheme before age 65 than to die.
• The most common illnesses are malignant cancer, heart-related illnesses (diagnosed) and stroke (permanent symptoms).

- Your personal health information
  
  In addition to our Irish Life Data Privacy Notice, the following is more detail relating to your personal health information that we collect and use in connection with this plan contract. We need your relevant personal information and personal health information for underwriting decisions. This will determine whether we can offer cover and on what terms. We also need your relevant personal health information to assess and pay claims. If relevant, we will share your personal health information with reinsurers for underwriting and claims decisions. We will use your personal information for any subsequent applications to Irish Life. In addition to the personal health information we collect from you, we will request and receive your relevant personal health information from health professionals, and share your relevant personal health information with health professionals, if needed.
  
  Material Facts
  
  You must tell us all relevant information when answering all of the questions. If you do not, or if any answers are not true and complete, we could treat the plan as void. This includes disclosing tobacco consumption or use of nicotine replacement products including e-cigarettes. If you fail to reveal all material facts there will be no cover under the plan, we will not refund the payments and we will not pay a claim.
  
  A material fact (relevant information) includes anything that would likely influence the assessment and acceptance of an application for insurance. If you are not sure whether something is relevant, you should tell us anyway.

We may also contact you if we need to ask you for further information on your answers or as part of any subsequent claim.

You must however, tell us if you are having treatment for, or experiencing symptoms of, a genetic condition. You will be asked for full information about your family history, including all genetic conditions.
