Episode 12 – Fibromyalgia

Hi everyone, we have Matt Rann back with us and we are talking about fibromyalgia and how this is considered in protection insurance. We are going through how fibromyalgia affects the body and mind of a person, there are a lot of symptoms and everyone is affected by the condition in a different way.  

The key takeaways:

  • Approximately 1 in 20 people are affected by fibromyalgia
  • Key details about fibromyalgia that you need to know to complete your presales research
  • Two case studies of arranging protection insurance for people living with fibromyalgia

I will be back next time with a short episode going through key parts of group income protection and the do’s and don’ts of advising on this type of cover.

Remember, if you are listening to this as part of your work, you can claim a CPD certificate on our website, thanks to our sponsors Octo Members.
