annual travel insurance

[Gill-C]

I’m sure there must be a previous thread about travel insurance, but I can’t seem to find old conversations on the forum!

I was a bit shocked to be refused annual travel insurance by AllClear after answering yes to the question did I have a terminal illness (which I think I have to). They will insure me for a single trip, but not for multiple trips over a year (presumably in case I inconveniently died)!

Has anyone with MSA found a company that will offer this or one that is particularly helpful or good value? Thanks

I wonder what insurance companies have as their definition of a "terminal illness"? The DWP seem to define it as being told by a professional you have 6 months or less.

Good point. I should have asked them. Having googled “is MSA a terminal illness” and got the answer yes, I felt obliged to answer in the positive.

The MSA Trust have a fact sheet on travelling with MSA. msatrust.org.uk/wp-content/...

We used one of the insurance companies listed, we did have to make a claim and they paid up.

It may be that you will struggle to get annual insurance, given the circumstances.

I was just about to ask about Travel Ins at our next MSA zoom meeting. We have had annual cover in the past but will not cover Graham now, so am just doing some research into companies, and if in fact for a say two day trip in the UK we need it. Some quotes would not cover for annual cover only single trips.

Oh do share any learning! It’s all a bit labour-intensive isn’t it?! Many thanks
