Sally’s Trauma Claim Story

I got diagnosed with breast cancer, stage one. Then surgery and I started radiation the beginning of October. I did 20 sessions of radiation, and a month after radiation I had to go on to the hormone blockers.

Two weeks after surgery we thought back that we might be able to claim with our insurance company with trauma. Greg (our financial adviser) found the best policy that suited us and our needs, OnePath was the best option for us and it has been for the last 12 years so that’s why we went through a adviser, because they did the work for us. Claims was easy, Greg came over and we filled out the paperwork [at home]… 3 weeks later the claim was sorted.

Provides financial support if an illness or injury stops you from returning to work or normal domestic duties.

Claims Testimonial – Total & Permanent Disability

“Just thought I’d update you, as I said I would, even though my claim finished back in January. A few weeks back I had trial surgery of a spinal cord stimulator… it worked tremendously week and have me around 70% pain relief. I’m scheduled to have a permanent implant this week.

Thank you so much for the way you handled me and my claim throughout its duration. You really made a testing time much easier with your caring and professional attitude. I can’t thank you enough for the understanding nature and manner.”

Ann’s Group Insurance Claim Story

In 2018 I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, it was a big shock and I never saw that coming. I was just going for a routine check up with my gynaecologist, I saw him in October 2017 and by April 2018 I had Stage Four Ovarian Cancer.

I was lucky enough to realise that I had the income protection so that’s been fantastic, it’s been my saviour. If I didn’t have it I probably would have lost my house. If I wasn’t able to take time off work it would have compromised my treatment.
