This report covers the life and health (illness) protection market, including life insurance, critical illness insurance and income protection. It does not cover areas like private medical cover; instead it studies the insurance coverage of risks associated with death and inability to work due to illness.

Numerous studies have shown that UK consumers are generally under insured for the death and illness risks they face, a fact that has not changed recently and is unlikely to change in future. This report examines the level of insurance cover consumers have and why they may be under insured. It will assess consumer perceptions of life and illness cover and go on to assess how these attitudes may impact on policy ownership. The report also looks in detail at the customer experience when arranging a policy and considers attitudes towards a number of issues relating to having life and illness cover.
