Making a Critical Illness Claim

How to Make a Claim

Please tell us as soon as is practicable after the date of diagnosis or surgery if you wish to make a claim. We will initially require:

  • a fully completed claim form signed by the employer
  • a fully completed personal statement, signed by the member. This includes a consent that provides us with the authority to obtain further information from their doctors as required under the Access to Medical Reports Act
  • where a spouse’s benefit is being claimed, an original copy of the spouse’s marriage certificate.
Upon receipt of all our initial requirements, we will advise you within 5 working days:
  • of any further information we require to assess the validity of the claim, or
  • if we are unable to admit the claim and the reason(s) why.

We will then obtain details of the member’s medical history and treatment for the present incapacity from their General Practitioner and/or consultant.

Please consult the Group Critical Illness Technical Guide, available to download below, for more detailed information on the claims process.
