Ok, so I've just been enquiring about life and critical illness cover for me and hubby, and have been told that they won't cover me because of the job I do.  I didn't see the point in lying or trying to cover it up, as if I do become critically ill or die then the policy wouldn't pay out and leave hubby up a creek without a paddle. 
I explained that I'm probably less of a risk then the avarage girl who has partners and doesn't use protection and rarely gets herself checked, but they wouldn't have it.

Has anyone on here taken out life and critical illness cover and owned up to what they do?  Pm me if you would prefer.

Many thanks

That was one of the reasons Amy.  The other I was told was that I was high risk regardless of what I'd said about check ups and taking precautions.  The woman that was trying to sort it, asked if I paid tax.  Which I do, so I'm wondering when she goes back to other underwriters to get more quotes whether this will stand me in good stead.  Who knows. 

As you say, hopefully someone will be able to help out.

Yes I have been told by a few companies that this occupation(which ever word you wish to use for it), is considered high risk and say that they can't offer any cover.
