Risks of not declaring epilepsy

“Not declaring your epilepsy to your travel insurance could mean that any claim you make for epilepsy related incidents won’t be paid out. You would have to pay these medical bills yourself. And the cost of medical care and treatment can be very expensive outside the UK. It is also important to tell your insurer if your medical condition changes after you take out the policy for the same reason.”
