Delayed Funeral Claim

I submitted a Funeral Claim to Assupol Life on thursday the 8th of June 2023 for my Uncle I have covered on my policy. I buried my Uncle on saturday the 17nth and I still dont have the money paid to me. Every day when I called them from tuesday the 13nth June I am told the money was released and I should have the same day., I even dealt with their Complaints department without any joy. The Call Centre is worse because they cannot tell you anything all they do is say they will escalate to the Claims department and nothing more.

Good day
Yesterday you said the Claim was paid and I should have the money still yesterday or latest this morning. I just followed up with your complaints department again and I got a response with an apology and confirmation that the claim will be paid today, you are not serious. What exactly is happening with my claim? this is frustrating, I have other things to do in life than chasing after a claim.
