How it works
Give us a call
We’ll need to ask you a few simple questions to get your claim underway. We need to know when you last worked, what job you were doing, why you’ve been unable to work and when you expect to return.
It also helps if you’ve got your policy number to hand, but we can manage without it.
Complete your claim
We’ll send you a claim form to complete and return to us. When we receive it, we’ll write to your employer (if you have one) and your doctor to confirm some details.
We stop taking premiums
If your claim is successful, we’ll stop taking your insurance premiums and refund any that you’ve overpaid. Your covered insurance policy or policies will remain in force for the length of your waiver of premium claim.
