Disappointment by Discovery

Appalling Service from Discovery Discovery always prides itself with great service and this is far from the truth. My child’s father passed away in August 2017. I have been going the process of claiming since then till today and I am constantly being put from pillar to post. Alexander Forbes speedily processed the claim cause I would think they assumed that a child who lost a father needs to be taken care of. I feel like Discovery GEP does not care, all they care about is receiving premiums from Customers.

Hi Habibah, Thank you for the phone-call yesterday and response, however, I just received feedback from Mpho Netshidambo, stating the Management has come to a decision that they wont pay current school fees for the child however they will only pay as per the previous school that she was in last year. I'm not happy with this decision, and would like the management to call and explain to me why and definitely am not accepting this decision at all: are they saying my child is limited by the decision maker? GEP Claim Goiod Day, Trust that this email finds you well, We apologise for taking long to reaspond to your query. As per management, claim has been admitted. However, fees will be paid according to what fees are at Parkdale Primary School as this will be the indemnity school since the child was attending this school at date of the member’s passing. When child progressess to Grade 8, Discovery will pay up to 20% increase of the Grade 7 fees at Parkdale Primary. Should you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact me.
