Hi everyone, we are talking about neurofibromatosis, a rare condition that causes tumours to develop in the body. The tumours are not usually cancerous, but it is still a condition that can lead insurers to take an extra look at the insurance application. There are three types of neurofibromatosis and each of them are reviewed by the insurers on a case by case basis, as the symptoms and affect on a person’s life can vary so greatly.

The key takeaways:

• Neurofibromatosis can cause difficulties for the skin, nerves, heart, bone development, balance, hearing and more.
• Neurofibromatosis can lead to other conditions such as epilepsy, scoliosis, deafness and vision loss.
• Two case studies of arranging life insurance for people living with neurofibromatosis.

This is our final episode of 2025 and I hope that you all have a lovely festive period and come back in 2026 feeling super refreshed and ready to learn more about protection insurance. .
