Seizure since Travel Insurance began

MarcJ88

Hi. We're partly through an annual multi-trip travel insurance with Post Office, although I've since been diagnosed with epilepsy. Predictably, when informing PO, the price has shot up by a crazy amount. What methods can I use to lower this increase - mention levetiracetam tablets, get a note from doctor etc? And would it instead be worth getting this partial refund + starting a new claim elsewhere? Thanks.

 I have epilepsy and get insurance from either the post office or stay sure. Both are expensive but cover all my medical conditions ( I have 5 plus epilepsy) post office is generally cheaper than stay sure for us.

Not sure mentioning your medication will make much difference. 

You can look at quotes elsewhere Put there may not be a huge amount of difference if your diagnosis is  recent Because it may be hard to judge how stablr it is as yet.
have you tried calling them to ask what evidence you can provide that might Make a difference?
