Tell us about a bereavement
When you call us, please try to have the following information to hand:
- The name of the deceased and their last known address
- Their date of birth if you know it
- Plan number (s) - not essential but it will help us locate any plans they held with us
- The death certificate if you have it (we might need the certificate number)
- The date of death
- If a will has been left, we will need the name of the executor if you know at the time you are calling
We will need your contact details (name and daytime contact number) so that we can reach you again if we need any further information to process the claim. There may be additional information we need - but we will let you know when we walk you through the process step by step.
To let us know that someone has passed away, please use one of the contact numbers shown below. This is the quickest way to start the claims process and we can help support you through it. There are addresses available for the teams that process bereavement claims if you prefer to start the claims process off this way, but please ensure you provide us with your contact information and we do advise that you call us.
