Private health insurance will make no difference to your application...you will be assessed on your potential cost to the healthcare system whether you have insurance or not.

I am not sure if it will affect your application but potential costs of around £20000 seems to be the critical point.

sorry to hijack thread but would anyone know if my Mum having had breast cancer 10 years ago would affect an application?

3 years remission is usually required but it is done on a case by case basis.

Thank you so much for that - I didnt have a clue. That helps a lot.
