Specialist travel and holiday insurance if you have been diagnosed with motor neurone disease

Our main concern is providing you with adequate cover for your personal needs and that's why we won't sell a policy unless we can cover you for everything including pre-existing medical conditions. Regular travel insurance is not usually designed to include cover for motor neurones, even if your condition is stable. This means that should you require medical attention or need to cancel for any reason that’s directly or indirectly linked to your motor neurones, a regular policy may well decline your claim. If you’re planning a holiday regardless of how well your symptoms are controlled, it’s important to obtain cover including any pre-existing conditions and to declare this at the time of taking out travel insurance.

Providing you have completed an accurate medical declaration, our specialist medical policies will provide cover for emergency medical expenses relating to your condition whilst abroad and cancellation cover if you have any changes to your health prior to departure from the UK. Planning is vital when travelling internationally with motor neurone disease, especially if you require assistance due to your mobility. Before travelling, make sure the airport or travel provider are aware of your requirements and that your accommodation abroad is fully accessible and suitable for your needs. Some of our policies feature an optional add-on to cover your mobility aids if they are lost, damaged or stolen; please contact us for full details of optional cover.
