Financial advice
We know that many PKD patients, their families or carers face financial difficulties. Whether you can claim benefits or get grants will depend on many factors - such as your income, savings, living costs, stage of kidney disease or disabilities.
Insurance
It can be difficult to find affordable insurance if you have polycystic kidney disease (PKD). However, there are a number of specialist firms who offer all types of insurance to those with pre-existing conditions such as PKD - but be prepared to pay higher premiums because of the higher risk of claims.
