Sometimes they will let you continue cover excluding the new condition. Worth asking.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

We used to pay about £400 for annual insurance but as my wife had a major issue in the UK our annual insurance is nearer £1200 ,we have a choice ,pay it and travel or stay at home.Nebulous2 said:That's how it goes, along with that ticking clock....
An annual policy for a couple I know was less than £100 in 2020 and now with the addition of two medical conditions and an extra 5 years on the clock is £3 under £500.....

Thanks for all the responses, I don't feel so 'hard done to' now. I did look to cancel and rebook (original insurers were happy to make a pro-rata refund without fees which I thought was good) but no other insurers beat the revised quote, so I stayed with them.
Just the cost of getting old I guess. BOO!1
