Suffering from a stroke is a life changing event. For stroke victims the importance of protecting families and loved ones is often a priority. While many companies will not provide life cover to existing stroke sufferers some will depending on personal health circumstances.
Underwriters will require sight of medical records in considering cover. They will look at such things as:
- Age
- Medical history
- Gender
- The extent and severity of your illness (e.g. a person who has had one stroke is more likely to be accepted than a person who has had 2.)
- Medication.
There are options available to a stroke victim where life insurance is concerned. For more information please complete our life insurance enquiry form.
