The claims process
Your employer will claim on in the event of your death and will liaise with your beneficiaries to arrange payment once the claim has been approved at our end.
You may want to tell your employer who you would like your beneficiaries to be and this can be done by completing the expression of wishes form. Once you’ve completed the form you should give this to your employer for safekeeping and for them to refer back to in the event of your death.
Additional information for employers
How to make a claim
It’s quick and easy to make a Group Life claim – and there’s usually no need to send us the original death certificate. Simply complete the online claims form.
If the claim is under a Master Trust scheme, you will need to submit a paper Master Trust claim form.
Complete member details
Tell us the member's details, as well as the scheme name and policy number. We also need to know the date, location and cause of death.
Confirm the payee details
Let us know who the beneficiary is, as well as any dependants’ details if there's a pension payable.
Review and submit to us
We'll send a confirmation email acknowledging receipt of the claim. And we'll be in touch if we need more information.
What we need from you each year
When it comes to your scheme anniversary, if you have a financial adviser, they will contact you when it's time to send an up-to-date list of members. If you don't have a financial adviser, we will contact you directly for this information.
Keeping scheme data up to date helps us ensure we can provide you with the right cover.
The information we need at each anniversary date for all insured members must include:
- Name
- Gender
- Date of birth
- Salary, earnings or benefit
- Occupation
- Work location (including postcode)
- Policy category (if more than one is covered)
- Date of joining (for any new member)
- Long term absentees
- Date of leaving for any member who has left the policy or is leaving the policy
- Any other relevant information such as members who are located overseas.
