Requesting feedback regarding life insurance coverage.
I recently had to go on permanent disability and chose to port (i.e., keep) the group life insurance coverage I had through my ex-employer. I was able to do this without having to disclose any medical information. I decided to do this because I've heard it's almost impossible to qualify for life insurance having MS (specifically PPMS).
My problem is the rates increased drastically being that I am no longer employed. What's more, the rates will almost double when I turn 50, which is not too far off. At that point, I will no longer be able to afford the premiums even after reducing my coverage.
I'd like to have feedback from anyone who qualified for private life insurance, especially those of you who have PPMS. What I'm looking for primarily are:
1. Insurance Co. name
2. Approved rate per $1,000 in coverage
3. Difficulty in getting approved
4. How many times denied by other companies before finally getting approved
Much appreciated!
