is it true that.....?

Question

if one of you relatives has died from new variant cjd, you cant get life insurance

Answer 1

Not sure but as the government duplicitiously spoon fed thr potential condition to the nation, if you CANT get cover then morally the goverment should have funding in place. And if not, they SHOULD!!!!!!!....lets set a precedent in the highest court in the land! Genuinely sorry about your relative, Hope this is of some help...

Answer 2

CJD, for those of you above, is a variant of the mind destroying disease mad-cow disease or BSE. CJD is simply the accumulation of prion aggregates, called plaques, in the brain. To answer the question, it is true. This should not be surprising as many other diseases do not warrant the payment of life insurance such as Ebola. Many accidents also do not warrant life insurance. In fact life insurance is only to very few cases, relative to all the nasty things that can happen to you.

Answer 3

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, CJD, mad cow disease. call it what you like, but it should not necessarily preclude you getting insurance. It is ingested food that it is caught from. If you have been living in a different place to your relative, you should be no more susceptible than any other person.

Answer 4

I think cjd is the human equivalent of mad cows decease

Answer 5

That depends on where you are and the insurance company coverage for which you are applying.

In the US, many companies do not ask for family history--you can run over to the application forms for Calfarm insurance, Pacificare, and the Texas Health Insurance Pool for instance, and find that they only ask about prospective clients, not about family members who have died (and presumably would not be asking for health insurance.).

So it looks like the answer is "no" for at least some and probably many companies.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

you can but it is likely to exclude cover for that illness if you lived in the same household as that person.
