How it works
Give us a call
To make a claim we’ll ask you for the name of the person who has died, the cause of their death, plus your details and your relationship to them.
If you’ve got the policy number it speeds things up, but don’t worry if you don’t have it to hand or can’t find it.
We'll get to work
One of our experts will look at the information you've given us and will let you know if we need anything else. In most cases we'll ask you to send us a death certificate and we may ask you to send us some medical or legal documents too, depending on the circumstances. We'll talk you through this so you know exactly what's needed.
Paying your claim
Once we’ve agreed to pay your claim, we’ll make the payment within 5 working days. If for any reason we’re not able to pay the claim, we will call and write to you to explain our decision.
