Hi Rob, yes it is, however it won't be cheap. There are some specialist companies about, the mainstream won't touch it I'm afraid. Google is your friend here
Hi Rob
If you had a Financial Adviser, they should have completed a lot of paper work (fact find) to establish your financial needs. If you haven’t been covered correctly you may be able to claim.
Check your paperwork or make a complaint to the company stating that you believe you were “miss sold” / “not provided the right cover for your needs” they will be regulated by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) and will be required to fully investigate and provide a full explanation. If you remain dissatisfied they will tell you how to escalate your complaint to the FOS (Financial Ombudsman Service)

But there are loads of ads saying no medical tests etc. Are they being dishonest?
Hi - you may be able to speak to a broker, but in my experience it will cost and you will find exclusions on the policy. the financial advisor you arranged your life cover with should have done a full fact find to see what you wanted if they did not cover what you asked you can make a complaint to the insurance complains authority biba.org.uk/complaints/ or speak to a local solicitor solicitors.com/ compliance within the industry has come a long way over the past 20 years with advisors having to take and keep more detailed records, but its worth checking out your rights.
