For example, they may currently or used to suffer from a certain medical condition and announcing it may give valid reasons for the Insurance Company to reject their applications and therefore they resort to lies. Or perhaps when they are going for a business trip, they made false statement by claiming that it was a personal trip. Such fear leads to complications and frustrations. Rather they should be honest and open about it and try to work out a plan that is most suitable.
