Hi All. I have AXA health insurance that includes comprehensive cancer cover. I rang them today to advise of my diagnosis and they were extremely helpful. I'm not looking to claim anything in respect of PC treatment. I will rely on the NHS as that is what my very good friend and fellow cancer patient advised. They did however say that if I chose the NHS route I could claim a £50 a day allowance for when I'm having radiotherapy, up to £2000 limit per year. It looks like being weekdays for a month. So that is £1000 I will receive from AXA providing I give them the proper documentary evidence? Do I have that correct?
If anyone can come in with experience or knowledge that would be very helpful. I no longer drive and will need to get an Uber from home to Mt Vernon each day (about £35-40 each way). This allowance would certainly soften the blow.
Many thanks.
Phil
