Critical illness

Any lump-sum payments from a claim for critical illness vests in the trustee.

Any income received is also subject to a contribution. This could lead to an increase in the DCO.

This could lead to both acquirenda and an increase in disposable income.

In a MAP case, ensure you ask the client these questions, as it may lead to the case being transferred to the FAB process.
