Life Insurance - What is Colitis or Ulcerative Colitis ?

Ulcerative colitis is a long-term chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) condition affecting the colon or intestine like Crohn's Disease. The colon, also known as the large intestine, absorbs nutrients from undigested food and passes out waste products through the rectum and anus in stools (faeces). Ulcerative colitis causes the colon to become inflamed (swollen) and in severe cases, ulcers (painful sores) may form on the lining of the colon. These ulcers can bleed and produce mucus and pus.

Symptoms of ulcerative colitis can range from mild to severe, with the condition being very unpredictable. These symptoms can flare up and then disappear (go into remission) for months or even years. Symptoms of ulcerative colitis include: bloody diarrhoea, abdominal pain, a frequent need to go to the toilet or weight loss

At its most severe, the entire colon can become inflamed (known
as pancolitis). This form of ulcerative colitis is particularly challenging to treat. The causes for the condition are unknown, though research suggests that both environmental and genetic factors are involved.

Colitis & Life Insurance Underwriting

 In order to check the severity of your Ulcerative Colitis, Insurers are likely to request a GP or Medical Report if you are requesting additional options over and above just pure lifecover. Note non-disclosure of your actual true Colitis control, may make any plan claim void & the insurer is not obliged on death for the life insurance payout or to refund any premiums paid if this was deliberately not disclosed. 

What do Uk Life Insurance Companies look for - when Underwriting a History of Ulcerative Colitis ?

It would depend on the severity of Colitis. For Life and Critical lllness Cover most insurers would view each case on an individual basis before making a decision. However the likely decision for cover maybe a substantial premium rating. Note that decisions may vary quite dramatically between insurers so please contact us for help & advice.

• History - What happened in the past? How severe is the Colitis problem now & how does this affect you day to day?
• Medical Records - What do your medical records say about you?  Have you developed medical problems as a result of Colitis ?  If you have already developed associated problems as a result of Colitis, many companies may probably rate or decline in the worst case your premiums.  
• Treatment - Have you been for Colitis treatment. What is your prognosis ?  
• Family History - Do you parents or brothers or sisters have a history of Colitis also?
