Critical illness also means the illness has reach the critical or advanced  stage level. In the example of cancer, if the cancer cell is still localised in the form of a growth and has not spread to the surrounding areas, it could probably in the early or intermediate stage. Under this condition, the policy is still not payable yet because the it has not reach the advanced stage yet.

As for early payout critical illness policy, the policy will pay certain % in advance even the illness has just reached the early or intermediate stage.
In the earlier example, early payout will pay even when the cancer cell is still localised.
