How to make an Over 50s Life Insurance claim

We understand it can be distressing to make a claim. Our dedicated claims team are trained by the Samaritans and will be there to talk to your loved ones and take the pressure off during this difficult time.

We want to help with a stress-free claims process and rest assured that each claim will be treated individually and personally.

We will need the following when we are notified of an Over 50s Life Insurance claim.

  • Death certificate
  • A Will, if one is held, which must be signed and witnessed
  • The date of the policyholder’s death and the claimants contact details
  • The policy number

Our claims team will let you know if there is anything else needed at the time of claim.

To make a claim call us on: 0800 009 3506

9am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday
We may record and monitor calls.

If calling from abroad, call: +44 1273 374 665

What happens next?

We'll deal with the claim as quickly as we can, but sometimes we need to refer to third parties and this can cause a slight delay. But our staff will always be on hand to discuss the next steps and answer any questions in the meantime.
