Does anyone know of a travel insurance that covers for epilepsy please. My daughter (aged 14) has just been diagnosed and has started medication and we are going to France in just over 3 weeks and I've tried a couple of sites on the internet who won't cover her epilepsy.

Not sure about epilepsy, but my OH has lots of health issues and I used comparison sites (think moneysupermarket was the cheapest). They had a link for any health problems, then they sent quotes based on your answers. Maybe also contact any support associations for epilepsy. Good luck.

Thanks for your replies. It comes out a bit expensive at the moment as she was only diagnosed last week and started medication. She has had 4 seizures in the last 5 weeks - one being in the consultant's office after he had told us she had epilepsy, so she had to be admitted on the ward for a couple of hours to make sure she was ok. Hopefully, the medication is going to work as she has only had 2 absence seizures on the meds and her doses have to be upped over the next few weeks. I will try to get another quote in a couple of weeks before we go and hopefully she has been seizure free and cost will be cheaper.

Have a look at Justtravelcover.com. I have a couple of serious health issues and insurance was becoming prohibative to having a holiday abroad.
I am just back from Italy and this company was half the cost of others with the same level of cover.

Glad someone linked to this group, as they have helped my son a lot, and are very helpful.
