Question
Can NWM rescind my policy because I forgot to disclose an illness I had 20 years ago (that I no longer have)? Do I have to sign their release to access everything about me?
Answer
Christine, If you failed to disclose a medical condition on an application to purchase a disability insurance policy, Northwestern may have grounds to rescind the policy. Please feel free to contact our office to discuss your situation in detail.
