Hi everyone, we are getting towards the end of Season 7, do you have any thoughts of what you would like us to cover in Season 8?

We are talking about a rare condition in this episode, one that can affect multiple organs in the body. Sarcoidosis affects 1-2 people in every 10,000 so it isn’t a condition that every adviser will come across during their work, but it’s important to know about it as terms could be anywhere from standard to a decline.

The key takeaways:

• Sarcoidosis is an autoimmune condition where inflamed swollen tissue develops in the body, often in the lungs.
• In mild cases no treatment is needed, but more severe cases could need lung or heart transplants.
• A case study of arranging life insurance for someone that has experienced sarcoidosis.

Next time Matt will be joining me again and we will be talking about claims statistics for life insurance and critical illness, what insurers have been paying out and why they sometimes don’t pay out.

Remember, if you are listening to this as part of your work, you can claim a CPD certificate on our website, thanks to our sponsors Octo Members.
