BARCLAYS BANK A/C PACKAGE - BREAKDOWN + TRAVEL INSURANCE

I have recently updated my information/medical issues with Barclays as I'm required to do (Note:- the travel insurance cover has been transferred to Aviva by Barclays for management purposes). They have confirmed that they are prepared to cover my existing MAJOR historical medical issues - but my latest condition ( only diagnosed within the last 12 months) - they have decided not to cover. I am therefore left with a 80% effective ongoing travel insurance policy! Has anyone had the same experience?. Has anyone tried to get travel insurance for just 1 condition? Do I need to be going to a specialist insurance broker? Any advice/assistance would be much appreciated

    Probably worth clarifying what your latest condition is?

    Maybe worth reading through previous threads in similar territory?

    I'd be looking into a new policy. We have recently covered my husband with a multitude of medical stuff, the best cover and price we found was insurancewith.com the medical screening asked actual relevant questions for the conditions.
  • Is there not an option to pay an additional fee to include cover in respect of the excluded condition ?
