Zimmer:
Whats your attitude to it? do you reveal all your medical conditions or, tut tut , lie about your age.
Since being T2D and CHD mine's going thru the roof, it'll get worse as I get older

swedebasher:
Yes Zimmer, quite a hike when you hit 66. Hands up I have been honest with my broker Direct Travel, where I get my annual insurance, and get a tidy discount when I renew. They are one of the cheapest(NOT inferior) to begin with anyway. None of them really like anyone like me who has cancer, so they usually will not cover it, or quote a big premium, which in my case is tough, as at present mine is not life threatening.

Bristle Boy:
I work for one of the world's largest insurers (albeit on the Life & Pensions side), but it isn't worth not disclosing full truths, because if something did happen abroad and it was related to an ongoing medical 'condition', for example, you wouldn't get hospital treatment in the foreign country paid for by the insurer or repatriation home. So be careful.

Jules:
The other year I told them about my shoulder and then the only thing they wouldn't cover was anything to do with my shoulder. Worth telling them as have seen cases on the tv where people haven't been covered for repatriation for one reason or another. I also have seen cases where your not covered if you have had to much to drink as well.

Zimmer:
Swede basher - that is a real bummer and my sympathies go out to you, I darent play down my medical probs, knowing my luck ::) ;) so I'll go along with it again , any recommendations?
