Travel Insurance for Cerebral Palsy

Planning a holiday when you have cerebral palsy might require extra preparation, but it doesn’t necessarily mean travel is off the table. Cerebral palsy is a neurological condition that affects movement, muscle tone and coordination, usually caused by damage to the developing brain before, during or shortly after birth, affecting approximately 130,000 people across the UK.

Most people with cerebral palsy continue to travel as normal, and with planning and proper management of the condition, it can often be done safely and confidently.

Here’s why travel insurance matters when travelling with cerebral palsy:

• Emergency medical treatment abroad if your condition causes complications
• Hospital treatment and medical expenses during your trip
• Repatriation to the UK if you need to return home for further care
• Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition

Travel advice for people with a neurological condition

• Take medication at the same times you normally would at home
• Ensure you have enough medication for the duration of your trip
• Avoid triggers that may worsen symptoms where possible
• Allow time for rest if fatigue affects you

When completing the medical declaration, it's important to read the questions carefully, and declare this condition where required.

We can provide travel insurance for travellers who have been diagnosed with a wide range of medical conditions. The type of cover available can depend on how severe the condition is and how it is managed. For that reason, it’s important to answer all medical declaration questions honestly and accurately.
