Discovery Health states I may not use their service for 8 weeks, despite being fully paid up as a member

I fell behind with my medical aid subscriptions due to the the impact of Covid-19.

The local Municipality (NMBM) did not pay for service rendered on 02 March 2020 & three of the art exhibitions I worked for, also did not materialize due to Covid-19.

I sadly fell behind my subscriptions, but I managed to pay in full since then.

I am upset that the Health Declaration I signed, says I may not receive Medical Aid for the 8 weeks! I went into the situation I was in because of the Pandemic!

I find this condition extremely unfair, as circumstances of the Pandemic - should surely be taken into account.
