travel insurance for asthma - if first diagnosed age 50 plus

northernstar5

My travel insurance company have just stuck on an additional premium for my travel insurance because I was diagnosed with asthma when 'aged 50 and over'. They seem to be classifying asthma diagnosed at that age as 'chronic airways disease'. I've had an annual policy for years and this is the first time they've done this.

Has anyone else had a similar problem - and does anyone know of any insurance companies who are NOT charging an additional premium?

I've checked out a few online - and they all seem to asking the 'was your asthma first diagnosed at 'under 50 years' or '50 years and over' question.

try the post office insurance{fortis} some of the quotes we got were ridiculous. they did ask if it was mild and controlled asthma. which it is. no extra premium was charged.
