Our guide to making a life insurance claim

We're there when it matters most

In 2025, we paid 5,815 claims, providing over €199 million to our customers and their families when they needed financial support most.

Behind every claim is a person facing one of life's most difficult moments, whether that's coping with a serious illness, adjusting to a loss, or being unable to work due to ill health. Our role is to help make that time a little easier by providing the financial protection our customers planned for.

In 2025, we paid:

  • Over €108 million in death claims (more than 98% of death claims paid)

  • More than €35 million in specified illness claims (more than 89% of specified illness claims paid)

  • Over €47 million in income protection claims

These figures show our commitment to paying valid claims and delivering on the promises we make to our customers.

Making a claim can feel overwhelming, particularly during a difficult time. That's why our experienced claims team is committed to providing a compassionate, personal and professional service every step of the way. If you need to make a claim, we'll support you with:

Know what to expect in your Financial Planning Meeting

Our qualified financial consultants will meet you at a time and place that suits you, whether it's face-to-face or online. In that meeting they will help you take control of your finances by:

  • Reviewing your current financial position. They will ask you questions to understand your income, outgoings, assets, liabilities and, most importantly, what your goals and ambitions are for your long-term finances.

  • Creating a personalised financial plan. They will use the information they learned about you and your finances to put together a financial plan tailored to your specific circumstances and stage in life, that you can follow.
