Claims

I submitted a claim with Metropolitan in October and submitted all necessary documentation and still I have not received any communication. I have been following up and the response I’m getting is that they are still busy with a claim. After I waited for so long even after submitting and later they told me that they did not get my documents because their mailbox is full.

I’m really not happy at all with this because now my Policy deducted a full Premium while I claimed and they were suppose to remove the deceased. It’s almost end of the second month and the policy will be deducting again.

This is really sad and upsetting because when taking a policy you are promised that it takes 24/48 hours to pay out a claim but it take more than a month

I’m so disappointed with the service that I’m getting from metropolitan life. It’s very poor. It’s now the second month and you are deducting premium for the deceased but you are not paying my claim. A Lady called Babalwa phoned me Yesterday and said she will call me back till today I’m still waiting.

Dear Dolly

We refer to your additional comments received on HelloPeter.

Our Escalation Specialist sent you an email yesterday, with the outstanding claim requirements needed to further assess the claim.

Please check your emails and revert directly back to Babalwa, so that she may drive the escalation of your claim assessment.

I have sent those documents and still no Payout from Metropolitan this is now the 3rd month since I submitted my claim. I even sent the affidavit that Metropolitan requested for proof of Relationship. Surprisingly that I was requested to even send the Lease agreement to prove that I was staying with my Partner.

Even after those documents my claim is still not processed. Babalwa is on Annual Leave as I got the response auto email. Does this mean my claim that i submitted in October 2023 will be resolved In 2024? While when I was taking policy I was told that the claim takes 24-48 hours??

This is really unprofessional and upsetting.
