Hello- I’ve just been diagnosed with MS. My symptoms are mild and infrequent and my mobility / eyesight are not currently affected. The DVLA have re- issued my licence - to be reviewed in 2 years. Looking for recommendations for MS friendly car insurers, thanks in advance! ---

Inform your current insurer and it shouldn’t have any change when renewing with a different company. I`m wondering why you only have a 2 year licence. It`s usually 3 years. ---

many car insurers don’t even ask any questions about health issues - even if they do they can’t charge more because of any disability. You may ask your insurer to make a note of your m.s. but it wont affect the cost The important thing is that the DVLA are informed. And remember to HAGGLE over quotes. ---
