Underwriting dispute

I have been on medical aid since the age of 19... I and now 33 and have not had a break in cover. I ended my membership as a beneficiary on my mom's Bonitas boncap plan on 31.12.2020 and app**** as a main member on my own boncap plan starting 01.01.2021. Bonitas has imposed 12 months waiting period on my diabetes and 3 month general waiting period. I gueried and they told me it is correct as per scheme rules. I've worked for medscheme for over 11 years and I am well aware of the rules regarding underwriting. I've also worked very closely with the council for medical schemes. Please Bonitas explain to me why I have full underwriting. I have been on medical aid for far longer than 2 years and I have not had a break of longer than 90 days. I am under the age of 35. Please urgently explain to me in more than the one lined sentence I received yesterday that the underwriting was imposed correctly as per the scheme rules and that of the council of medical schemes.
