Tell us about a bereavement

We’re very sorry to hear about your loss. We're here to support you through this difficult time. Please use this page to notify us of a bereavement so we can begin the necessary steps to assist you.

How we can help

If the plan was being paid for through a pension or company then you will also need to inform them.

You might not always feel ready to talk or remember something you forgot to ask us. That’s why we’ve created this guide that might be useful for you to read in your own time.

If you have an active policy with us, remember you have your myWellbeing benefit. The confidential counselling and advice services might offer some support at this time. Log in to your account to find this information.

There are also support groups available, and plenty of websites out there which provide advice and guidance on grief and how to get help and counselling if you need it.
