Life Insurance with Neurofibromatosis Type 1
Overview
Life Insurance can be available for those with Neurofibromatosis Type 1.
However, those with more severe symptoms and/or other complications or who are older may be declined by standard insurers.
The condition will impact the overall availability of cover. Life Insurance premiums are going to be higher for many, if an underwriter can be found.
The following guidance is aimed at those who have been diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 only. (review details for Type 2 here)
Key Issues for Neurofibromatosis Type 1
The impact of Neurofibromatosis Type 1 will depend on your age and severity:
If you have not already been declined for life cover, you could consider approaching mainstream insurers first.
Pulse Insurance specialise and may be able to find cover for those with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and other conditions, when other insurers decline. But, sometimes an underwriter willing to provide cover we may find not available despite our best efforts.
The main aspects affecting the availability and cost of Life Insurance for those with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 are: –
- Other Health conditions e.g.
- High Blood Pressure
- Tumours
- Bone abnormalities
- Lifestyle
- Smoking
- Alcohol consumption
- Over-eating / obesity
- Exercise & fitness
It is usual that we will require a Medical Report before cover can be issued. We will discuss this with you when you enquire.
If you need a specialist underwriter
Pulse specialise in taking your Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and any other specific conditions and needs into account and finding you Life Insurance cover, if it is available.
We use our knowledge and experience to find a solution when other Life Insurers have declined to quote.

In most cases, we can offer indicative premiums and/or sense of if cover may be available or not early on; so, you can decide to proceed or not.
Being Transparent
It is always important to declare your Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and any other medical conditions completely.
Your Personal & Medical Details
Everything you disclose about your Neurofibromatosis Type 1 to any life insurer or life agent should be treated with sensitivity and appropriate levels of privacy.
Requirements for more information
While our initial enquiry may not gather enough information to provide an indication of cost, our insurers may ask for more in depth information regarding your Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and/or any other conditions. Sometimes the details you can provide may allow them to reduce the premium they seek.
As you have a medical condition, it is possible that underwriters will need to seek a Doctor’s report or for you to undergo medical examinations, blood tests or other tests that will confirm your health to allow them to quote an accurate premium and confirm cover details. The costs involved in obtaining the medical information are usually paid by the underwriter, but if not, you will be informed before they are requested.
Pulse will never sell your details to anyone. We will use your details to provide the service you have asked for according to the permissions you grant us– read our Privacy and Data Protection policy in full.
