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.

Generally for Fibromyalgia critical illness cover there will be a requirement for some sort of medical information to support your application, such as a GP report or medical check.

Case Studies

  • Client: Female
  • Age: 44
  • Smoker status: Non-smoker
  • Medical condition: Chronic fatigue syndrome & Fibromyalgia
  • Cover date: 25th June 2019
  • Product type: Life insurance and critical illness cover
  • Cover amount: £20,000
  • Cover term: 25 years
  • Premium: £17.28

We were approached by this lady on the 15th May 2019 when she was referred to us by an Independent Financial Advisor (IFA) who was struggling to find her cover. This happens quite regularly as some IFAs struggle to find mainstream protection for their clients, therefore they ask us to help. Our advisor Sam P then get in contact with the lady to discuss her medical issues and her life insurance needs. At this point she disclosed that she has previously suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome and Fibromyalgia, and was looking for £20,000 Life & Critical Illness over a 25-year period to cover her mortgage. Sam P then did some research and found the cover she wanted with one of our mainstream providers for £20,000 over 25 years for just £17.28 per month on the 25th June 2019. This is an amazing premium considering her medical history and the fact that Critical Illness costs considerably more than just life cover on its own. There was a slight delay between her initial enquiry and her policy being completed due to the fact that the lady was busy and had a lot of different things to do before she could sort her life insurance out. However, Sam P finally secured her cover, so she now has peace of mind.

Overall this is an amazing result as it can be difficult to find Critical Illness for someone who has had chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, and the lady now has the protection that she was previously lacking. We love finding protection for people who have previously struggled as we want to help people get the peace of mind that they deserve.

Our customers love us.
