Well Women now Reassure cancer Insurance. Anyone had a claim in recently?

Hi Beachwalker19 I had critical illness cover with Aviva that also covered breast cancer. that paid out. I wasnt sure it would as I didn't have chemotherapy but they said it wasnt the treatment but the diagnosis that counted. Sorted easily between them and breast care nurse

youngatheart, 

Thank you for your reply. Yes I think this form just asked for biopsy report and anytime time spent in hospital as you get £100 a night as well. 

Will wait and see. 

Glad you got yours sorted.

I got confirmation today I get everything I was entitled too. Can’t actually believe it. 

Hello,

What is it you are talking about? I have triple negative breast cancer so could do with some kind of insurance in case i have a recurrence as i am struggling financially now i have gone down to half pay at work. I know i wouldn't be able to make a claim this time but want to be prepared in case there is another time xxx

, I think they all had insurance policies with critical care cover before cancer. I stupidly thought I was too young to worry about policies likes that (couldn't have afforded it anyway). I doubt we will get insurance cover now and imagine you have to be clear of cancer for a number of years before anyone will accept you. I am also on reduced pay and things are very very tight!

  it stinks doesn’t it? as if we don’t have enough to worry about. 

I guess no one ever thinks they’ll be the one in our position I know i never did xx 

thanks for your response xxx

Hi

Sorry, Yes the insurance policy was something I took out years ago, well over a decade, I think it came about through my job at the time. It’s still worth looking into, I presume the premiums will be higher but I just think we insure everything else and maybe never claim but with the odds nowadays of cancer effecting us it’s got to be worth at least a bit of time researching x x

, yes it is a bit poop but I can also see it from insurance companies point of view. If you do manage to find a company that will cover you now do let me know! It may be that you can get cover for everything else but not cancer!!

Sorry, meant to add that I found this website and its very helpful. Looks like you have to wait 2 years  but in some circumstances you may only have to wait 12 months depending on circumstances
