Hi, have some queries regarding filling out our mortgage protection life assurance forms. We are both very healthy but as with most people we have had our share of colds, strep throats and chest infections. The forms ask:
"Have you ever had or been advised to have any medical attention, operations, x-rays, tests, investigations or treatment for any of the following: Asthma, bronchitis, sarcoidosis or any other respiratory disorder"
I had a chest infection in December / January which cleared quickly with antibiotics and steroids and my girlfriend had a virus or some other chest infection / illness about 5-6 years ago (nothing serious) and was sent for a chest X-ray (which was clear) and cleared up within weeks (no hospitalisation). Are we being too careful by writing these details onto our mortgage life assurance forms? We don't want to create unnecessary delays for ourselves requiring the life assurance company (hibernian) to obtain doctors reports on the matters etc. What do people advise? I'm inclined to be up front and honest but I'm concerned about delaying our application.
Thanks,
B.
