To make a claim just give us a call (you'll find the number on your policy summary) and we'll send you a claim form with a freepost envelope to return it in. Once complete, just pop the form and the death certificate in the envelope and send it back to us.

If we need any further medical evidence we'll let you know who we've written to and we'll keep you regularly updated on the progress of your claim. We'll cover the cost of any additional reports we need.
