    Hi @arsenal1971, welcome to the community. We have some lovely members with CP who I'm sure will be happy to help you and your son find a way forward. I'll move your post over to our CP category so they can find your post more easily and share their experiences. 

    I'll also tag our CP lead, @Richard_Scope in case he's got any useful tips :)

    Welcome again, I hope you'll find the community useful!

    Firstly, welcome to this VERY Arsenal friendly community! I'm presuming George is is named after Charlie?

    I'm not great on this subject, but could not pass your Double-Winning username.

    If nobody can assist you on here (but I have a strong feeling they will), try this link:

    www.the-insurance-surgery.co.uk/medical-conditions-life-insurance/cerebral-palsy-life-insurance/

    There is a chat facility on the website also.

    Failing that, I have found Irwin Mitchell law firm to be great advisors: www.irwinmitchell.com/contact-us

    All the best with George (and of course this season)

    Often life insurance with pre-existing conditions can be expensive and a better option could be to save a monthly amount, a lot of course will depend on his age.
