Critical Illness Cover & Motor Neurone Disease (MND)

MND is covered by all UK CIC policies at 100% payout, and claims are typically fast-tracked due to severity.

Is MND Covered?

Yes. All types of MND (ALS, PLS, PMA, bulbar palsy) are core conditions paying 100%.

Fast-tracked: Most insurers fast-track MND claims. Payouts are often processed within days.

Why CIC Matters for MND

The financial impact of MND is severe: inability to work, home adaptations (wheelchair access, stairlifts), professional care costs, and specialist equipment. A CIC payout provides a crucial financial lifeline.

Average Age of Diagnosis

MND is most commonly diagnosed between ages 50–70 but can affect anyone. Early CIC cover ensures protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. All types at 100%. Claims are usually fast-tracked.

How motor neurone disease affects your critical illness cover application

Getting critical illness cover with a history of motor neurone is often possible, but it is almost always mainstream UK insurers that offer the most flexible underwriting for your situation — not direct-to-consumer comparison sites. Factors that matter include the date of diagnosis, the treatment completed, the time since last recurrence or monitoring, and your consultant's current prognosis.

Our FCA-authorised advisers know which insurers are most accommodating for motor neurone, and can often arrange cover where a comparison website has returned a blanket decline. Where full cover is not immediately available we can arrange deferred or exclusion-based cover so you still have some protection in place now, with a review point in the future.

We never share your medical information outside the application. Insurers use the NHS digital Access to Medical Reports Act framework to request GP information only with your explicit consent, and you will always see any report before it is sent.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get critical illness cover with motor neurone?

Yes — in the vast majority of cases cover is available, sometimes at a standard rate. Exclusions or small premium loadings are more common than outright declines. Our advisers place motor neurone applications with the insurer most likely to offer the best terms for your specific situation.

Will I need a medical exam?

Not automatically. Most applications are underwritten from your online health declaration and, where needed, a GP report. A short nurse screening (height, weight, blood pressure) is sometimes requested for higher sums assured.

How long does underwriting take for motor neurone?

Standard underwriting takes 2–5 working days. Where a GP report is needed, allow 3–6 weeks for the NHS system to return it. We chase on your behalf and keep you updated weekly.

Should I disclose everything to my insurer?

Yes — always. Non-disclosure is the single biggest reason claims get rejected. If you are unsure whether something is relevant, declare it. An FCA-regulated adviser can walk you through the question set so nothing is missed.
