I posted before about this but perhaps not surprisingly I had few responses!

Has anyone been successful in obtaining life insurance suffering from vasculitis?

The closest I’ve got so far is ‘come back in a year’!!! Another helpful broker said he could get me an ESME (not sure that’s correct) but I had to die before my 70th birthday - I declined that since I’m already 61!

Would love to hear from anyone?

Another product you could apply for is various types of Over 50s policies as they don't need medical evidence. The amount of cover is fairly low compared to general life insurance though.

Not what you're looking for?
