Me and my other-half are looking for a joint life insurance policy, however she has epilepsy, which I gather is a complication. Otherwise, we are reasonably healthy and fit.

Anyone got any experience of insurers who would cover this?

Long time ago but I arranged a few policies through Lifeseach who I think are still around today.
They were very helpful and once they had found me the right cover and company then in effect stepped away and i continued to deal with that company direct.
Didn't cost me a penny ( they get commission form the companies obvs ) but did save me a lot of time and hassle.

Sorry should have added - providing her epilepsy is all under control /drugs etc then I believe it shouldn't itself be much of a issue in getting Insurance and doubt any " loadings " would be that significant.
Other than perhaps with the likes of Legal and General who only seem to like insuring 110% perfect specimens !
