I know there are a few insurance companies that do insure people with pre-existing illnesses...can`t remember their names offhand but the Blf helpline should have this info for you.

Thanks dorall will give them a ring

I used Unique when I went to New York in May. Their details were on the website. I thought they were pretty reasonable given my pre-exisitng conditions. Definitely shop around though - there are a number of companies out there and like I said they are listed on the BLF site.

Good luck

Welcome chrimar

The BLF helpline may well be able to help you with this, I think they have been accumulating information for a list of insurers. The helpline is open normal working week days from 10 am to 6pm telephone 03000 030 555.

Good Luck with finding a suitable insurer. Auntymary xx
