I don’tink there is anyone who needs to know with the possible exception of any travel insurance provider if you plan to travel. Mortgage company may need to if you have probs paying…or if you have critical illness cover…although that would be the insurance company.
Otherwise if you are about to take a pension you can get higher rates if you declare illness such as primary or secondary cancer. Also if you wish to apply for things such as ill health retirement.
I had an income protection policy and so when I stopped working they of couse needed to know. Im not sure that anyone else needs to know…but will stand corrected!

I guess a mortgage company wouldd need to know if you were applying for a new mortgage (particularly if it werre on your own), but if there isn’t a question on the form about it, then I guess they are not interested. As others say, travel insurance needs to know (even an existing policy) but apart from that only new policies (health insurance etc) if they don’t cover pre-existing conditions.
