    What we'll do with your claim

    Why and how we assess your claim

    Bookmark
    • We need to ensure your circumstances meet your policy definitions and check if your policy has any special provisions or terms.
    • The benefits payable under most claims are directly linked to your income before you became unable to work. Your policy will clarify what your maximum benefit is; however, reductions in payments may occur if your income has reduced since the policy was taken out.

    When your claim is accepted

    Checkboard
    • We'll confirm details of the payments to be made, and when you'll receive them.
    • If you have waiver of premium, we will set this up so that we can start paying your premiums.
    • We'll let you know when we'll next review your claim - this will be based on the circumstances of your claim. 
    • When you're able to return to work we’ll explain your policy conditions, which could provide you with partial payments.
