The Delhi State Consumer Commission ruled that an insurer cannot reject a health insurance claim solely based on pre-existing diseases if they weren't the cause of death. The commission directed HDFC Life (previously known as HDFC Standard LIC Co. Ltd.) to pay Rs 19.4 lakh along with the interest to a woman whose husband's claim was rejected for not disclosing diabetes. The insurer also has to pay Rs 1,00,000 for mental harassment of the complainant along with the litigation cost. This is a relief for those with common lifestyle diseases like diabetes.
