Group Life Insurance

Support for families when they need it most

Our life cover is an affordable workplace benefit. We’ll make a tax-free payment to an employee’s family if they die while working for you. It also provides emotional support to those grieving their loved one.

2. We’ll review your claim

Once we receive your claim, we’ll review it and keep you updated on our progress. We’ll get in touch if we need anything else.

3. Get a decision

We’ll aim to give you a decision within five working days. If we approve your claim, we’ll make a payment to the trust. If your employee is part of a master trust or excepted solution scheme, the trustees may contact the employee’s family directly for more information.

If we don’t approve the claim, we’ll tell you why and let you know how to appeal.
