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

Parents

  • The causes of autism are complex and varied. All we can say with certainty is that nothing definite has been concluded, other than the strong association with genetic factors. It is premature to claim we have found the magic key.

    So IntenseWorld, you, and the Scientists you quote, may be right, but the jury is still out, and nothing conclusive has been identified. When that day comes, it will be all over the news!

    Even  if you are completely correct, it would still only apply to certain subgroups or types of autism, because the cause(s) will be different for individuals.

    Most academic books on the subject offer the disclaimer, after presenting possible causes, that these are still only hypotheses.
