Windscreen claim a big issue for insurers?

[CorvetteConvert]

Even with 39 years' no claims bonus (20 actually counted for discount purposes) my insurance company are all agitated because i failed to admit to 'a claim in 2013'. (The windscreen i had replaced as the MOT showed it was just and only just 'in my line of vision'.)
So let me get this right, replacing a windscreen that was chipped by road grit makes me a higher risk to an insurance company?

More likely that (in their eyes) being dishonest is spooking them.

I've only ever had 1 insurance company ask me for claims including windscreen ones. I said how the fook do I know when they were as no-one else asked so why would I remember.
So they just logged the last one (no increase in premium) I moved companies the next year.

I didn't realise that you had to declare windscreen claims.

Most policies state that windscreen claims won't affect your NCD etc.

Based on that, I never thought they were bothered.

An old thread which touched on this very thing a few times. Gets a bit livelier (and current) towards the latter pages.
