Good day

Thank you for alerting us to your contribution concerns. 

As per our correspondence with you, please be advised that no contribution refund is applicable as dependant 03 was active on the medical aid up until the month in which she was terminated. We would wish to advise that the waiting periods applicable to dependant 03 were confirmed and accepted by you. 

We trust that the above is in order. 

Kind regards
Natasha
