With ITP where do we stand re applying for life cover? Has anyone been declined or offered terms with a loading to the premium?

Hello Nicky,

Life insurance, travel insurance and any insurance products with life cover attached will obviously be an issue for ITP sufferers and the illness must always be declared to the insurer when applying for any cover.

The ITP Support Association can supply information about insurance issues via [e-mail]. They can provide a list of insurerers who are familiar with ITP.

Thank you for the reply NickyD

Just had a 50% loading on a level term assurance premium of 100%. I've had this 16 years, never been hospitalised and have blood tests every six months, but evidently the underwriters don't understand it, so am paying £20 per month instead of £10.
