Wondering how you can get cover at a reasonable price with your health condition?
You’ve come to the right place.
Some brokers can’t hang up quick enough once you mention a pre-existing condition.
This is especially true if they’ve never heard of your condition before.
They assume you’ll be declined so don’t see the point in helping you…there’s no money in declines you see.
I take the opposite view.
I love a challenge and am proud to have helped lots of our customers get cover where the competition failed.
You see, truth be told, I am the daddy when it comes to arranging specialist life insurance.
And no, we don’t take ourselves too seriously around here.
I’ve found that people with pre-existing conditions are more resilient and fun loving than people in perfect health so if I can lighten things up by bringing some fun into a drab topic I will.
This approach isn’t for everyone, I understand that, but I can only cater for like-minded people.
Hopefully your illness has given you a more positive outlook on life.
We’ve put together some common questions on getting life insurance with an illness.

No.
9 out of 10 specialist life insurance applications are approved without the need for a life insurance medical exam.
You will need to go through the normal underwriting procedure though e.g:
The biggest delay is waiting for your GP to send back the report.
If your GP is efficient, you could have a decision within a week.
It will cost more than someone who doesn’t have any health conditions.
Pretty obvious I know but it’s impossible to be more accurate.
All health conditions carry different loadings.
Your condition might be mild, moderate or severe. The more severe, the higher your final premium will be.
