    They are very good if you have a claimable event. They are a waste of money if you dont. Basically, the exact same principle as all insurance.

    Statistically, its around 1 in 5 people will suffer a claimable event before retirement. So, it is one of the better insurance policies in terms of likelihood of payout.
