Travel insurance while on diagnosis waiting list

jaybee_elsdon

Hi all. My name is *****. I'm 45 and was recently referred for autism and adhd testing to see if it was a contributing factor with my ocd (and due to other reasons).

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask. I'm trying to get travel insurance. Because the autism waiting list counts as being an a waiting list with an undiagnosed issue I have to get more specialised insurance.

I've found All Clear which seems good. They will give me insurance but exclude any claim relating to my undiagnosed Autism (and ADHD) assuming I even have it. Now undiagnosed or not I can't think of any reason I'd need to make a claim for anything related to that. Worst case would be I get  panicked and need to go home but I'll only be in France and can easily book a ticket back on my money (besides. I've lived with it for 45 years and it's not been an issue ever on holiday before so it won't be now).

Does anyone have any advice about this. I suppose I'm partly worried they'll claim any claim must be related to my autism. Advice I've had is that they would have to prove it was related which is unlikely to be the case so I shouldn't worry about. (Either way. I have little choice if I want to go).

Anyone who has any advice or experience with this I would hugely appreciate it.


Cheers

    In response to your question, I have had a look through our advice and guidance pages and found this section on going on holiday which may be useful to you. The section under insurance states to check with the insurance company that the insurance meets your needs. I would suggest calling your chosen company to gain further clarification.
