Heath Lambert has teamed up with The National Autistic Society (NAS) to provide travel and life insurance for those living with autism.

The broker is extending its “Unique” offering, which specialises in cover for people with pre-existing medical conditions, their families, carers and supporters.

In what the firm claims to be an industry first, Unique has arranged for autism to be treated as a disability as opposed to a medical condition, which will significantly reduce the cost of cover in many cases.

The brand’s associate director, Diane Caplehorn, comments: “Our travel cover is particularly innovative as we can class autism as a disability – which has not been negotiated in the market before.”

NAS membership and branches manager, Samantha Fletcher, adds: “We often hear from our members that arranging appropriate cover is difficult … Unique are leading the way in terms of insurance provision and we hope the rest of the industry will follow.”

Last week, Heath Lambert announced that it will be the sole provider of cover for the redesigned female orientated Diamond home insurance product.

Included within the policy will be Handbag Cover, Home Emergency Cover, Keycare and Legal Protection, plus an option for interest free instalments.
