    Yes , and let the insurers decide if they want to load the price or exclude

    declare everything and especially how they word what you declare, if your not sure get a copy of your GP summary care record by email which is Free so you can be sure.

    I would read carefully the health declarations on your policy and their terms of a pre existing condition and then answer truefully. Different policies have different terms.

    Make sure you read the questions very carefully. I'm shopping around for travel insurance and I've noticed that some insurers ask 'have you ever' and some ask 'have you in the last ??? years'.
