Important information about your claim
- Make sure you read the claim form carefully and complete it in full. If it’s not complete, it will be sent back to you to complete before the claims process can continue.
- Please make sure each proof of identification is valid and hasn’t expired.
- Identification supplied needs to match the name on the claim form (e.g. if the claim form is in the person’s married name then the identification needs to be in their married name – however we will assist you to resolve any discrepancy).
- If we need further information to assess the claim, we will contact you.
- If your claim is delayed, we will call you as soon as there’s an update – or every 10 business days, whichever comes first – to keep you informed about how your claim is progressing.
- If we’re unable to pay your claim, we’ll explain why and you’ll have the opportunity to present extra information to support your claim.
