Hi Phil, suggest you check out the AFA webpage as it gives the names of some of the Company's which cater for folks with AF. If you or your partner happen to be retired Civil Servants, suggest you also look at the Civil Service Pensioners Alliance as they have an arrangement with AXA PPP which may be helpful......enjoy your break....best wishes, John

Also try companies who you have an existing relationship with because they are often more "agreeable" and also give discounts for additional policies. This includes car insurance, household insurance, pet insurance and don't forget if you are in a personal (ie not final salary) pension scheme - I did this last year with car insurance and saved over £200!! Not sure about of you are receiving a pension.

I used fit for travel and they gave me an annual world wide travel insurance for £500 and I also have high blood pressure and diabetes. So I thought the price was very good.

Speak to Mediquote, Sussex House, Perrymount Road, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, RH16 1DN. . An Insurance company will find any reason to bump up the cover fee however, this company asked me a number of questions before providing me with an endorsement which resulted in no extra cost for the condition.
