Critical illness insurance

Can I get my critical illness insurance premiums back if I don’t get seriously ill?

Yes, if you add a return of premium option, which adds to the cost. Depending on the option, you get some or all of your premiums back if you don’t make a full claim: on death, if you cancel after a set number of years, or when the policy ends.
