# Syndromes like Downs syndrome or Fragile X syndrome?

Downs, Fragile X and other syndromes

You are required to declare Downs syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS), Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and other syndromes on our policies.

If you are still under investigation or awaiting a final diagnosis we are unable to provide cover until you’ve been fully diagnosed. In this instance recommend seeking specialist providers from as [**MoneyHelper**](https://www.moneyhelper.org.uk/en/everyday-money/insurance/travel-insurance-if-you-have-a-medical-condition) **or** [**BIBA**](https://www.biba.org.uk/find-insurance/).

Please note that under the Equality Act, it is not discriminatory for firms to charge a premium, require disclosure or reject cover if a condition could influence the claim outcome.
