There may be a small loading in slightly more severe or advanced cases. In more severe or serious cases there may be an additional loading applied. This is when treatment / medication is stronger or anti-depressants are used.

Usually when underwriters assess an application for Fibromyalgia life insurance, a GP report or medical evidence will be required. This is to gather information about the individual and their condition. This enables life insurance underwriters to accurately assess the application and apply the correct terms.

Fibromyalgia life insurance rates and terms change regularly and could have improved in your case, or your health may have improved.

Does Critical Illness Cover Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is one of the neurological conditions where critical illness cover is available due to the fact that it is generally milder and symptoms do not directly result in most critical illness claims (e.g. Cancer, Heart Attack etc.).

There are many applications for Fibromyalgia critical illness cover which are accepted at normal rates and even with no exclusions. Especially where there are no complications or issues.

Medical information such as a GP report will usually be required to support your application for Fibromyalgia critical illness cover. Our experience shows that Fibromyalgia critical illness cover can be difficult to get with certain insurance providers and easier with others. Also, Total Permanent Disablement (TPD) claims are not available currently on any Fibromyalgia critical illness policy. This may be subject to change.

Underwriting changes regularly for all types of neurological medical conditions critical illness cover so things may have improved.

Can I Get Fibromyalgia income protection?

Income protection for Fibromyalgia is available from several insurers and may be secured if
you have been symptom-free for several years.

If you’ve recently experienced mild symptoms, Fibromyalgia will typically be excluded from
the policy. However, this exclusion can potentially be reviewed and adjusted if your
circumstances improve in the future.

through a specialist like us could make all the difference. With extensive experience helping
