Playing with peoples lives

So my employer took out disability cover as a group scheme with a broker. According to Hollard it pays monthly thus every 30 days. I was put on temp disability as requested and motivated by my psychiatrist for major depressive disorder. I did request a signed copy of the policy to understand the terms and conditions. The date of disability was confirmed by Hollard as the 10th of July 2026. There was a waiting period of a month which i understand. So the period they calculated for payment was from 10th of august to the 31st of August. This was paid out to my employer on the 31st. Today i got an email frrom the broker that i will only receive my second payment on the 20th of october!!!! So hollard is telling me i have to wait 50 DAYS YES 50 DAYS for my next payment. I have no husband or family members that can help me and i have to look after my mother aswell. Because of i did not get the full 75% and had to let the medical aid know i will make the payment at the end of september. So currently i cannot access my medical care. I cant go see the psychologist,psychiatrist or get my medication. I tried 3 clinics and was told they dont have the medication. You use so much airtime because your call gets redirected and you hold for 6-7 min without anyone answering. E-mails get answered only after 24 hours and i am told call the broker or the HR. They are of no help. So my question to hollard is: i am completely depended on you, so if someone is struggling mentally, feeling hopeless, depressed and a suicide risk do you want to push them so far over the edge that you dont have to pay out

Thank you for your reply.. If there are too many parties involved in the chain of communication something will eventually go wrong. I could only work with the information i had but i do apologise for being a little harsh.
