Critical illness payout for autistic child?

jenski

Hi,

I have recently discovered that I have critical illness (not terminal illness) insurance for my children and it has come to my attention that there is a case going through at the moment where a mother is fighting to claim a payout for her autistic son.  In my opinion she is more than entitled to it as autism is an incurable life long dibilitating illness and as a parent it is a life changing experience to have a child with this condition, I know that NAS are backing her.  Anyway, I am also looking into finding out about claiming on my policy and am just wondering if anyone has any experience with this?

Thanks

    I think I have inherited my good immune system from my parents, who also rarely get ill. They don't have Aspergers.

    I eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly. I experience stress and anxiety, but I still rarely get ill. I eat a vegetarian diet, full of pulses and fresh fruit and veg.

    As a child, my mother never had to give me medicine because I never had a bacterial infection, just the usual , short lived, childhood colds. I have not had a cold for 10 years.
