Critical illness cover

Hi,

My husband has just been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy due to atrial fibrillation. Would anyone know if it needs to be permanent to make a claim?

Cardiomyopathy - of specified severity

A definite diagnosis of cardiomyopathy by a consultant cardiologist. There must be clinical impairment of heart function resulting in the permanent loss of ability to perform physical activities to at least Class 3 of the New York Heart Association classification of functional capacity (marked limitation of physical activities where less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation, breathlessness or chest pain). The diagnosis must be supported by echocardiogram.

Thanks

Jackie
