What Is Addison’s Disease Life Insurance?

In most applications for Addison’s Disease life insurance there will be a requirement by insurance underwriters to view your GP report to assess the levels of risk. It is not unusual with medical conditions such as Addison’s Disease for this to be a requirement for a life insurance application.

If you have applied for Addison’s Disease life insurance in the past and cover has been declined, postponed or accepted with special terms (e.g. premium loadings) then you should speak to one of our expert advisers. The Insurance Surgery has years of experience in dealing with non-standard life insurance applications such as for those with Addison’s Disease and we know which insurance underwriters are most suited to your circumstances.

Generally where there is a history of Addison’s Disease and you are applying for a new life insurance policy, there may be several additional underwriting requirements to assess your application such as:

Age diagnosed

Medication / treatment

Date of last attack

Symptoms (e.g. Low mood, weight loss, muscular problems, dehydration etc.)

Family history

Related symptoms or conditions

The Insurance Surgery has helped thousands of people to protect their families financial futures by providing specialist advice for non-standard risks such as Addison’s Disease life insurance. In most cases where people have a pre-existing medical condition and they are looking for life insurance, they will understand the risks of not having cover.

Critical Illness Cover

Again there is a strong possibility that Addison’s Disease critical illness cover will be accepted and can also often be at the insurers standard rates with no special terms imposed. If the Addison’s Disease has been well controlled and there have been no recent episodes or issues then you should be accepted for critical illness cover at standard rates with no issues.

 

Income Protection Insurance

Income protection for Addison’s Disease can be slightly more strict in terms of underwriting due to the additional risks of claims on an income protection policy. In most cases the insurance underwriters will want to see a copy of your GP report to assess your Addison’s Disease income protection application. If your Addison’s Disease is well controlled with no further health disclosures then it is possible that income protection will be offered, however there will usually be a slight increase (or loading) to your premiums due to the additional risk.

Coarctation of the Aorta life insurance

Underwriters assessing life insurance for those with coarctation of the aorta will consider the following:
 
Underwriting for professional football players seeking life insurance cover will depend on the following factors. Insurers may request more details on the following:

Your age

Your current weight and lifestyle

The date of your initial diagnosis

Any other associated health conditions such as heart attack or stroke

Associated congenital conditions such as heart disease

Whether you have high blood pressure

Whether you have had surgery for coarctation of the aorta

Whether you smoke

The impact your condition has on your job

Following these considerations, an insurer will normally be able to inform you of the kind of policy you will be eligible for based on your circumstances.

Generally speaking, if you have coarctation of the aorta but your symptoms do not require treatment and you have never been in hospital for surgery as a result of your condition, you should be eligible for a ‘non-rated’ life insurance policy.

However, if you have had an angioplasty procedure to correct your condition, and you are suffering from symptoms in line with it, you may be considered a higher risk for life insurance, and could pay a higher premium than someone with no symptoms. An insurer will likely request medical records from your doctor to confirm your details and to offer you the best policy available.

At The Insurance Surgery, we have helped many people find the right coarctation of the aorta life insurance cover for their needs. Ratings for an individual seeking life insurance with coarctation of the aorta can vary depending on their individual circumstances, so it is important that you approach the right insurance provider that understands the nature of your condition.

If you’re the primary breadwinner or share financial responsibilities, a life insurance policy can help your family maintain their standard of living in the unfortunate event that you’re no longer around to support them.
