I'm coming to terms with the words incurable, but on a practical level, do I have to notify my insurance company for the mortgage, I haven't got critical illness only paid off on death.
Thank you for posting a question. I am sorry to learn about your situation. One of the moderators felt we might be able to help.
As you pointed out, not only do you have to cope with your diagnosis, but there are practical things to think about as well. This sort of thing can often add to the stress of the situation.
It seems like you have had some good advice from one of the forum users. As they suggested, it is a good idea for you to look into the possibility of receiving Personal Independence payments. As there are often extra costs associated with long term health problems, any money received can help with this. I must admit that I do not really have a large amount of knowledge about life insurance, but it is fair to say that each individual policy will have slightly different rules and regulations. If you already have a life insurance policy that only pays out on death and does not cover for critical illness it is not usually necessary to disclose changes to your health but some policies will also pay out if the holder of the policy is diagnosed with a terminal illness, so it is worth checking your policy to see what the situation is.
You are having to cope with a lot at the moment, but many people tell us that they feel more settled once they have sorted out their personal affairs.
