Hi All
I’m new to the group and was hoping to tick off my bucket list by visiting abroad, but since I’ve been given an SR1 (less than 12months) nobody seems to want to give me travel insurance-I’m 57 and in good health except for the cancers which aren’t impacting my ability to or travel (currently on holiday in a cottage near Bakewell.
any advice?
Hi
I have insurance with insurewith. They are very good with very complex medical condition. You can fill in some of the form online to start with then call them for the finer details. I find them very reasonable and very responsive.
I am currently on a 3 weeks safari holiday in Southern Africa so trips abroad is definitely possible.

Thanks for the advice, was going online and every were was saying no, will phone the companies and see what they say, will also help in making the decision to either taking early retirement or die in service (my wife would receive an extra £70,000 if I die in service) and completing a bucket list
You could also try Holidaysafe, they are part of the same group as Insurancewith. I accessed online quotes through comparison site albert&eddie who are also part of the same group - I received quotes from both Holidaysafe and Insurancewith and the former were cheaper. It just depends on individual circumstances.
I hope you can get fixed up and deal with the question of early retirement or not - not an easy decision.
