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 can check that you are fit to fly with Huntington's disease and that your treatment or recovery is on track. Be aware that the nature of Huntington's disease can affect your ability to get travel insurance or the level of cover available.
How the right policy helps if you have Huntington's disease:
- 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 like Huntington's disease
- Take your Huntington’s disease medication at the same times you would at home
- Ensure you have enough medication for the duration of your trip

- Allow time for rest if fatigue affects you while living with Huntington’s
When completing the medical declaration, it's important to read the questions carefully, and declare this condition where required.
Travel insurance is available for many people with Huntington's disease. What we can offer depends on how the condition affects you and how well it is managed, which is why honest, accurate answers to the medical declaration questions matter.
