SUPPORTING YOUR CLIENTS

Our claims philosophy is simple – treat every person covered fairly, and pay all valid claims as quickly as possible and with minimum inconvenience.
Your clients take out protection for peace of mind, and our Claims Team is here for them.

Our Claims Team

Our Claims Team

Scottish Widows Protect has a dedicated Claims Team with expertise and specialist knowledge in all types of protection claims. This team is part of the wider Scottish Widows claims team, which is one of the largest claims teams in the industry with over 80 members of staff. Each person who claims will be given a claim assessor who will stay with them throughout the claims process.

Grey Claims Panel

Grey Claims Panel

We have a holistic approach to paying claims and we do not take declining any claim lightly. If the Claims Team has any concerns about a decision on a claim they can refer the case the the 'Grey Claims Panel', a group of senior managers at Scottish Widows who will consider the facts and give a decision.
