Many on this forum have stresses to really be careful about your declarations AND the policies exclusions. You MUST READ the policy carefully and not rely on what is said on the phone as many in the call centres are NOT SPECIALISTS and are generalists. If you are unsure ask to be put through to one of their people trained to discuss medical aspects or failing that to a supervisor (though they may not be much better). When you get the policy and the insurance schedule check the wording. If you don't like it you can cancel in 14 days.

Recently the daily mail had an article and the BBC had a feature warning people about checking carefully AND saying watch out for cheap ones because often they have more exclusions and are less likely to pay out because they wiggle. As my sleep apnoea consultant said last week give them absolutely the smallest opportunity and payouts will be refused.
