Unsure if this the correct place to ask this, however, my partner has a health condition "transverse myelitis", it doesnt affect her apart from slightly slow mobility. Should this be declared and require screening?     tia

It will depend on the exact wording of whichever policy you are looking at, but in my view it’s always better to disclose than not.

 Saves having to argue about whether an accident or health issue that has developed is related to the thing you may have failed to disclose in which case you aren’t insured. They could for example argue that a fall where she broke something was related to the condition.

 Yes. You should go through the screening process and answer every question truthfully.

Yes you should declare it.  It may be something which is covered by the insurers list of conditions which don't affect the premium anyway.  Failure to declare could result in the insurance refusing to pay out if you did make a claim.
