How to make a claim

These products are no longer available to new customers

If you need to make a claim on your RLCIS insurance policy, we’ll try to make things as simple and as easy as possible for you. We’re here to help and support you through your claim.

Reviewable Premium

Some of our critical illness and income protection products have reviewable premiums. This means that we'll review your premium every so often. This might mean a change to the amount you pay.

Factors we'll consider when reviewing your premium will include:

  • changes in claims (death and illness) experience, trends and expectations
  • changes to expenses outside our control, like changes to the costs of providing care planning service, or changes to the tax levied on this type of business
  • changes in persistency (how long customers keep their products) experience, trends and expectations
  • changes to future expectations of investment returns.
