Before you begin…
When you are off work due to illness or injury, we understand the value of an efficient and quick claim decision. Reading through and following the steps below will help us review your claim and process it as quickly as possible.
Important things to consider
- Please ensure you answer all questions. If the question is not relevant, then please answer ‘not applicable’.
- Please ensure that you understand the wait period on your plan before submitting this form, as we will not pay your claim until after this period. If you do not know your wait period, you can find it in your plan documents or by clicking here.
- If you are within the first 7 days of your incapacity and are self-certifying, but cannot provide a medical certificate, we will automatically generate a self-certification for this period.

How we process your claim:
We will try to process all income protection claims as quickly as possible, however, failure to carry out the above steps will lead to your claim being delayed or possibly declined. Once we have received all your information, a claims handler will review your submission.
Please note, as part of the claim process, we may require your medical records and our claims handler will contact your doctor for further information. When all the information has been received, we will be in touch to confirm the outcome of your claim.
