Dear Bongani

Thank you for your additional comments.

As per our email to you on 24/8/2023, the policy we traced with your kind assistance needed to be loaded back on record and be re-built to determine the claim value as it was off record for so long.  This is why claims should normally be submitted within 6 months.

Following this, we still need to trace all the legal and financial dependents of the deceased to see who is eligible for the Death Claim proceeds in terms of Section 37C of the Pension Funds Act and distribute the proceeds in line with the Board of Trustees resolution.

We are still in the middle of these processes and as indicated, we have 12 months to complete this process.  We are however committed to do it sooner than that if at all possible.  

Please bear with us during this long and intricate process.

Regards

Client Care Team.
