Our process

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.
