How to make a claim

We’re signed up to the Protection Distributors Group' (PDG) Claim Charter, reinforcing our dedication to delivering the highest standards to customers throughout their claim experience.

We have over 60 Samaritans-trained claims assessors, so every claim is handled with compassion. Your client’s case will be dealt with by the same assessor throughout, if possible. Clients can also nominate someone to act on their behalf – we’ll need written permission for this. Read more about our typical claims process and timings.

Making a life insurance or critical illness cover claim

Step 1: Client calls us to start their claim

You or your client can call us, with the documents we need to hand, for example, a death certificate, a will if there is one, or medical evidence for a health claim. We’ll use this initial phone call to gather as much information as we can, which can take around 30 minutes.

Step 2: Client completes their claim pack

We’ll send out a claims pack for your client to fill in and return. Email is the quickest way we can send it to them. If the pack is incomplete when the customer returns it, we’ll call your client to go through the missing details or send it back to them to finalise.

Step 3: We review the claim pack

Once we’ve received a fully completed pack, a claims assessor will review the information and process the next steps. These could be:

Pay the claim – if we have all the relevant information showing a valid claim, we will arrange payment.
Request further medical evidence – if we need more medical evidence to make a decision, we will request this from third party health professionals. This will mean that the claims process will take a little longer.

Making an income protection claim

Step 1: Client calls us to start their claim

Your client calls us to let us know about their absence from work. We’ll use this initial phone call to gather as much information as we can.

Step 2: Client completes their claim pack

Our team will send out the claim pack via DocuSign so your client can complete any missing information in their own time and give their consent electronically. We can also send a paper copy if they prefer.

Step 3: We review the claim pack

Once we’ve received the claim pack, we’ll carry out a review which will help highlight if we need any more information. This could mean more details from the client, their family or a treating medical professional. We’ll also establish whether your client would benefit from involvement from our clinical team for additional support and treatment.

If the client is still off work at the end of the deferred period and their claim is valid, we’ll start paying their monthly benefit.

Impact of overseas travel and residency on claims

Overseas travel and residency questions form part of our standard application process.

If the application is accepted by us, then the policy documentation states how we would assess any future overseas travel or change in residency.

The terms and conditions governing residency and travel vary between different products and have changed over time, so any existing customer should refer to their individual policy document for full information. Any payments from claims can only be made to a UK bank account.

Countries where a claim can be made

Life insurance claims

Claims can be made from anywhere in the world. We will pay a claim as long as we can verify that it is valid.

Critical illness cover claims

The life insured, or relevant child is covered, if they are resident in the United Kingdom, any part of the countries that form the European Union, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands. We will also accept a claim from other countries if we can confirm the claim is valid. We will act reasonably when reviewing evidence to support the validity of a claim.

Income protection

Clients can make a claim on this policy if they reside in or travel to any part of the countries that form part of the European Union, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands, or they reside or travel for up to 12 consecutive months in any other part of the world.

However, the monthly benefit for incapacity provided by this policy will only be payable for up to six calendar months while the client is outside the countries listed above.

Waiver of Premium

The life insured can claim for Waiver of Premium if they reside or travel within the European Union or travel outside of the European Union for no more than three consecutive months in any 12 months.

If the life insured travels outside of the European Union for more than three consecutive months in any 12 months, we will act reasonably when assessing whether the life insured meets the definition of incapacity.
Advance payments for funeral costs
All Life Insurance policies with a Death Benefit Claim could qualify for an advance payment of up to £10,000. Depending on each valid claim and the circumstances, we can pay the Funeral Director directly if we can’t pay out the full claim value and if the funeral payment is still outstanding.

The following policies don't qualify for advance payments for funeral costs:
- Policies that are Assigned, Under Trust or subject to bankruptcy
- Claims for loss of income (Income Protection Benefit)
- Claims for a critical illness (Critical Illness Cover)
- Claims for a terminal illness (Terminal Illness Cover)
- Claims for Total Permanent Disability (TPD)
- Claims for Accident, Sickness, Unemployment (ASU)
