Re: [nzbraintumour] some help

Hi there
 
this process was quite straightforward for Dave and I also. our policy was with the BNZ and we just contacted them and they sent us the form we needed filled in by our oncologist. The only stipulation was that it was classed as a terminal illness, and GBM is listed as such. I remember at the time we filled in the form we still didn't believe for a second that Dave had a "terminal"ilness...but it was a means to an end at that stage.
 
It only took a few weeks for the claim to be processed.
 
All the best
 
Penny x

Subject: [nzbraintumour] some help

Can anyone help me navigate the mindfield that is the process of claming Glen's life insurance. I spoke to Glen's neurosugeon yesterday about it and although he is happy to fill in the necessary paperwork it sounds like it is a long drawn out process and it would be helpful if any of you have any thoughts on what I might expect, what your experiences have been.
Thanks
Linda
