Neurofibromatosis
About this episode
This episode discusses neurofibromatosis, its impact on health and insurance applications, and includes case studies on life insurance for affected individuals.
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. .
