Information will we need
- We would need to see the following documentation for a critical illness claim.
- A claim form completed by you – or a next of kin if you are unable to do so.
- Consent forms signed by you so that we can obtain additional medical reports where necessary.
- If you have any copy medical reports from your doctors, please send a copy of these to us.
- If we need additional information we'll explain why and keep you up to date as we obtain this.
What you're covered for
- A lump sum on death.
- A lump sum on diagnosis of one of the listed illnesses in your policy, or when you meet the claim definition within the policy.
- We can only look at the critical illness definition included within your policy, as conditions change over time. You therefore need to check your own policy conditions as to your eligibility of your claim.
Regrettably, we’re not always able to pay a claim. We'll always fully consider and review all evidence if we're unable to pay a claim and explain our reasons for doing so.
