Personal Health Fund - Discovery's system error removed all my funds!

When your Personal Health Fund was launched I activated it on my Discovery Health app and went through the process. The system rewarded me with R4100 following the completion of my health actions. When I tried to claim from the fund by having it pay for a visit to the urologist, there was "a systems error" on Discovery's side and they couldn't process the claim. I worked through my borker to try and have this resolved but she also struggled with Discovery. Eventually the issue was resolved but my PHF was restated to R1200 and I lost all the funds I initially had - and no one at Discovery can see any history of this. What a poor system for a great concept. I cannot believe that you cheated me out of R2900 which I could've used to settle my medical bills (which this is supposed to be used for!). Thanks for nothing Discovery.

I’m not really holding my breath here. You haven’t been able to resolve the issue through my broker. So not sure if this will yield anything. I’d be very surprised if it does.
