Travel Insurance - Pre Existing Medical Conditions

Hi All,

I find the questions on Pre Existing Medical Conditions to not be as clear as they could be so was hoping someone might have some advice.

There are medical conditions I believe I have that I have discussed with my doctor, but I honestly do not know if I have a confirmed diagnosis. My feeling is if in doubt declare it anyway. Would you agree?

I suffer from anxiety & did have some counselling a few years back. I have also been prescribed some tablets as I am scared of flying. The question asks about the condition & asks if I'm currently receiving treatment or taking medication. I am not, but since these tablets could be also prescribed for anxiety I am concerned at saying no to this question.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks

    you could always ask your doctors advice.
    you can get an online quote with L&V and declare any pre existing conditions their online process is straight forward.
    but just a word of warning L&V do ask if you have 'ever' had, for me I do have pre existing to declare but I also suffered HBP 20+ years ago I had to declare but it did not affect the end price
