Is Parkinson’s Covered?
Yes. Idiopathic Parkinson’s disease is a core condition on all UK CIC policies, paying 100% upon diagnosis confirmed by a consultant neurologist.
Getting CIC with Existing Parkinson’s
Very difficult. Most insurers will decline or offer cover excluding Parkinson’s. A specialist broker can explore options.
Why Early Cover Matters
Parkinson’s is most commonly diagnosed between ages 50–70 but can occur earlier. Taking out CIC while healthy ensures cover if it develops later.
