You can start your claim in one of the following ways:
Call us on 0345 606 0708
Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 5.00pm
Email us at: individualprotectionclaims@canadalife.co.uk
We’ll send you a claim form to fill in and return. Please include your GP or consultant’s details as we’ll need to contact them. Once we receive your claim, we’ll keep you updated on our progress.
If we approve your claim, we’ll make a payment within five working days.
Just so you’re aware, we’ll continue your cover if you’re making an additional illness or a child’s critical illness claim. For everything else, your policy will end once we approve your claim.
If we don’t approve the claim, we’ll tell you why and let you know how to appeal.
