A Scottish mum who lives with multiple sclerosis had been denied a £130,000 insurance payout for failing to disclose her symptoms - a year before she claims she had any.
Jade Taylor says that she had planned to use the sum of money to assist in covering the cost for life-changing treatment in Mexico later this year. The mum-of-two adds that she applied for life and critical illness covers in March 2019 after she split up with the father of her children and she was told the policy would ‘go live’ on July 18 later that year.
She has paid around £1,500 in premiums over a span of two and a half years believing that she would be awarded a lump sum if she were to become severely ill. Following a ‘bombshell’ diagnosis that she had primary progressive MS in February 2021, her insurer Zurich has refused to pay out the money she requires to undergo a new stem cell treatment that can reverse the disease, the Daily Record reports.
