Cancel my holiday

Im after some advice. We are due to fly on our honeymoon in just over a week's time, unfortunatly my Wife has suffered really badly with panic attacks and it seems might not be able to fly.

Therefore looks like we have to cencel the holiday, checking our insurance it says: Claims relating to any previously diagnosed psychiatric disorders, depression, anxiety, stress or phobias are not covered.

When it says pre existing, who determines that? she has had bouts in the past but nothing to stop her travelling?

Help would be really appreciated.

    Pre-existing would be if she's been to the doctor and it's on her medical records, no matter how long ago or if it was just the once, if it's on there they won't pay out. They will contact her GP to verify.

    As peachy says, if it has ever been recorded before it won't be covered and they won't pay out.

    Can she not go to the doctors and see if they could prescribe a mild sedative as an interim measure? It is your honeymoon after all.
