MOMENTUM GLARINGLY ABSENT IN TIMES OF REAL NEED

My husband has taken out a Metropolitan Policy which also provides for a payment of half his life cover in the case of not having a prospect of living for more than a year. Unfortunately he has reached this stage and we are sitting with expenses like 24h care, hospital bed, Nappies etc. The voicemail at Momentum was advising us to send in a request via e-mail, which we have done on 2 June 2020 to ***. No response has been received to date, not even an Autoreply ! On 8 June 2020 I phoned the "death" division at Momentum and was told by Arnold that he cannot help, but he eventually committed to forward my e-mail to his supervisor. To date no response whatsoever and our expenses are still adding up.

Reviewer Update
I was pleasantly surprised to receive an e-mail within ten minutes after lodging my complaint with Momentum. It seems my e-mail has not gone through to Momentum. Charmaine, at Momentum, is a star, she even phoned me after hours to sort out the problem!

The only concern I have is with Arnold at the death claims division, who was simply not prepared on 8 June 2020 to walk the extra mile and report my problem to "lumpsum claims". Surely if one works for the same company, there must be a way to communicate with other divisions, even in lock down !
