The Association of British Insurers (ABI) launched the Mental Health Standards, to help customers when applying for health, travel or protection insurance. The standards should mean customers with mental health conditions receive clearer communications in a consistent way across the industry. They have been developed in consultation with mental health experts, including Mental Health UK and the Royal College of Psychiatrists. For people with mental health conditions, this can be particularly distressing.
