What does everyone do for life insurance? I was in a accident in 2011 and suffered a severe head injury and had crainiotomy then surgeons found a bleed on my brain at the back of my head and had to do another op and remove it. In 2017 I had a seizure in my sleep due to the injury. No one will touch me for insurance, I want one with full cover as I have a family and mortgage so want to put things in place. I'm only 40 so I'm surprised I can't get a policy anywhere so just want to come on here and see if anyone has insurance and who its with and how much it is roughly. Thanks.

Hi. The Headway helpline might be able to give advice. Their number is 0808 800 2244. Scope might also have some information on this. Their number is 0808 800 3333.

Best of luck with this.

Hi Chris, I had the same problem too and happened to find online a company called Reassure. They researched and they found Zurich and did most if the work for me which was brilliant. The only thing I didn't take and now wish I did was critical illness, hindsight is a wonderful thing, but check with them and ask them. They were great and very helpful too. Good luck 👍

Thank you. I've been using life search since January last year and still had nothing. I'll give them a try and hopefully get something sorted.

Hi Chris, I couldn't get life cover, but the bank, last time I renewed my mortgage did suggest I attempt to get cover, up until now I have forgotten about it. So thanks for the prompt.
