Claims

This page will explain the insurance claims submission process for 1Life policyholders and their beneficiaries. When you make a claim you will be assigned a dedicated claims consultant to guide you through the process and help with any queries you might have.  

Life cover policyholders, why not download and print the Beneficiary Instruction Sheet? It explains your policy, the claims process and waiting periods in some detail. File it with your will or policy document and help your loved ones claim quickly and easily.
