Life insurance

shelberly

Hi all

After a bit of advice really.

My partner & I are in the process of buying a house, unfortunately, both our mortgage advisor and myself have been unable to find any insurance companies that will insure me due to Rheumatoid Arthritis (this is apparently because they are concerned with the complications of Covid)

Main questions:

Has anyone else had this experience?

Does anyone know of any insurance companies out there that will provide it for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Hello @shelberly and welcome to the forum

I understand that you are suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis and looking for help with insurance companies that will insure you.

Whilst we do not endorse or promote individual companies you may find others on the forum who have had similar experiences. In the meantime our website contains a lot of useful information about the condition and I would recommend you take a look. Below I have put in a couple of links you might find interesting

I wish you luck and please do keep posting. I hope you find some help

Hi Shelberly

Thank you for posting on the forum.

I hope you find the posts from Peter and Mike1 helpful. My only other thought aside from the Money Advice Service which Mike1 has given you is the Citizens Advice Bureau, who may be able to help or signpost you further.

For the experiences of others if you repost on the living with arthritis forum you will hopefully get more responses.

If at any point you would like to talk to us on our freephone helpline: 0800 5200 520 (weekdays 9am-8pm) you are very welcome to call.
