Problem with Insurancewith

Hello LenC

I have found with personal experience it's easier to give them a ring and go through your diagnosis with a human being - it's easier and less time wasting and you ensure they have the correct information on the proposal form.

I hope this helps.

best wishes - Brian.

Hi Brian,

Gave them a call and the result was unbelievable!! Spent ages going through all the questions and at the end of it all I got a quote for £320 for annual multi trip!!

Other online quotes were well over £1200.

That's great - a happy ending.

Enjoy your holidays - it's interesting flying - I flew a few times with a catheter - if you are flying remember to pick up a sunflower lanyard from the airport disability desk - this will speed you through security and boarding.

Thanks for your response - it makes it all worthwhile knowing we have been able to help, however small the help is.

Best wishes - Brian.

Can anyone get the lanyard ? my husband had his stomach out due to stomach cancer and not standing in Qs would be helpful, do you have to show anything. Thanks 

Hi Sue

At all the big airports, Manchester don't forget I am "up North", Heathrow and Gatwick each terminal has a disability desk in the check in halls - Manchester has one in each terminal. When I got my sunflower lanyard I didn't have to  produce  anything but took my diagnosis letter just in case. You can also request a wheelchair there to take you from the check in to the boarding gate if you need one.

If you use that online retailer named after a South American river and enter "Sunflower Lanyard" into the search box you can get one sent out by post for £2 or £3 with no proof of disability. 

Best wishes and enjoy the holiday -- it sounds like you deserve one!

Brian,

(gosh - I have just read your journey - you two have been in the wars - and you are from the North!)

Thanks @Millibob ( I can never get it to tag people ) I’ll get one just in case we have to use it, at the moment things are ok, but in this world you never know do you. Thanks x

Hi Sue

It's a good idea - it enables you to go through fast track security and some airlines have a disability check in and respect the Sunflower Lanyard. Some do early boarding for you so you are not being rushed!

(To tag someone just click on @ and then when the option opens up in the new window just click on their name)

I don't really do computers - I have had to learn quite a bit to do the "Community Champions job". It's hard this modern technology when you are 67!

Best wishes - Brian x

Hi LenC. I have just got an amazing annual Multitrip Policy for Insurewith too. I went thru it all with a call handler, then had the night to sleep on it. Did it online the next day and got automatic 15%discount!

One thing that I did discover though is that different Insurers interpret European Travel in different ways. Malta, Spain and (I think) were additional with Insurewith but it still came out at less than £120 for a year, and cover includes Follicular NHL for which I have just finished 6 mths treatment.

I think the call handlers are brilliant. Mine took about 45 minutes to sort out but a very good result at the end. Like you I waited till next day and did it all on line and also got the 15% discount.
