Travel insurance

We are due to fly abroad for holiday in the next couple of weeks and my daughter has fractured her ankle. She is 'fit to fly' but our travel insurer wants to charge me an additional £30 to cover the 'pre-existing condition'. As I took out the insurance 4 months ago when I booked the holiday, I can't understand how a fracture 3 days ago is now classed as a pre-existing condition?

(Sorry just realised I should have chosen a better thread title but I don't know how to edit it)

    Have you queried it with the insurer?
    Come back and tell us what they say.

    It is pre exsisting the date you go on holiday.

    Your original quote was based on the situation at that time. Circumstance have now changed. There is now an additional risk as your daughter may need treatment while away so an additional charge is made.
