Travel Insurance for Huntington's Disease

Huntington’s Disease is a genetic neurological condition that affects movement, cognition, and behaviour over time. Symptoms can develop gradually and vary in severity, often requiring ongoing care and medical support. In the UK, around 8,000 people are living with Huntington’s disease, with many more at risk due to family history.

It’s important that you discuss Huntington’s disease with a doctor before travelling. They will need to ensure your condition is adequately managed and that you are fit to fly. Note that due to the nature of the condition, this can affect your ability to obtain travel insurance or the level of cover available.

Here’s why travel insurance matters when travelling with a medical condition:

• 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.
