Insurer Of The Year

Multiple Claims

You can make multiple claims for the life of this policy - which will continue up to retirement age (65 yrs) or until you decide to cancel it. You can cancel the policy at any time with one month's notice and there are no penalty clauses.

A multiple claim is when you claim more than once on your insurance for accident, sickness or unemployment. However to make a mulitiple claim you must return to work for a period of time between claims. Please see below:

Accident and Sickness claims:

  • You must return to work for 1 month before you can claim incapacity for a condition unrelated to your 'most previous' claim.
  • You must return to work for 6 months before you can claim incapacity for a condition that relates to your 'most previous' claim.
  • If you return to work for less than 6 months and need to make a claim for the same condition, this will be treated as the same claim.

Unemployment claims:

  • You must return to work continuously for at least 6 months before you can make another claim for unemployment.
  • If the period of unemployment is separated by 6 consecutive months or less, this will be treated as one continuous claim.
