Hello

Happy Easter to everyone.

I'm going on a sailing holiday this summer and need travel insurance that covers me for being on a boat etc AND having psoriatic arthritis. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've also had a hip op previously and am being investigated by a spinal surgeon but don't have definitive diagnosis yet - do I need to disclose those too?

Thanks very much

    If you are over 50 try Saga.

    Hope you are able to get insurance cover......I've PA too and couldn't get cover for going to Germany next week when I told them about being on the list for wrist replacement in June.

    I applied for the European Health Insurance card which covers you for treatment abroad (EU) but will not cover the costs of flying you home.

    let us know how you get on? Iris x
