Alzheimer’s Disease and Life Insurance

Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 50-60% of all cases.

It is a progressive neurological condition characterised by the build-up of proteins known as plaques in the brain.

These plaques gradually damage and destroy the nerve cells making it more and more difficult to remember, reason, understand and express ideas.

There is currently no known cause and no cure for the condition. As a result, it's not possible for someone with Alzheimer's to get insured.

Life Insurance and Alcohol

Can somone diagnosed with an Alcohol Use Disorder get mortgage protection?

The simple answer is no - if they are still drinking.

If they have been clean and sober for over two years, then there is a chance of getting cover.

But there will be a significant increase in the price (on average they'll pay three times the normal price)
