Hi Moorcow, just looking through these posts about claiming on ci cover. Hope you don’t mind me asking. What insurance provider where you with? Hope you’re keeping well xx
I had critical illness cover on my mortgage even though we switched over to a repayment mortgage we still kept up the endownment “just in case” and I am glad we did. I didn’t even think to claim it until someone mentioned it to my mum and then I spoke to my Consultant’s Secretary and my bank (then Abbey National) and the ball started rolling.
They sent a form to my Consultant who filed it in and sent it back and I think I was paid out within about 5 to 6 weeks, it was enough to pay my mortgage off and keep some in the bank which we have “forgotten about”.
I hope this helps
