Fellow sufferers
Two and a half years ago I had an operation to remove a large tumour from my
small intestine, since then I have had yet another operation to repair two
post operative hernias, I have had continual pain that is particularly bad
for approximately ten to fifteen days a month, as a freelance professional
ballet photographer and designer and it is not possible to say when I will
have a good day or a bad one!
I have a career specific insurance policy with Scottish Amicable European
and they have refused to pay me a penny and keep saying that I will be OK
ONE
DAY even though my consultant and his consultant registrar has stated that
it is almost certainly Adhesions and they do not want to operate again as
they feel they would gain nothing, my financial advisor and my GP has also
told the insurance company that I cannot do my profession because of the
pain
and unpredictability of when it will strike, I have also told them many many
times.
I have spent my savings to support myself and my family, I have cashed in my
tessa/peps, I have even asked my mortgage company to refund me the money I
have spent on the house over the last few years, has anyone had a similar
problem with an insurance company over Adhesions? I am still paying £91 a
month to this company and it is slowly driving me under.
Any advice or help would be a great help, I am going to take the matter to
the insurance ombudsman and I need all the evidence I can get my hands on.
Yours
