No claim feedback 2 months into claim.

2 months onto registering a claim and still nothing, though there is a complaint consultant assigned about a month ago but still no feedback to a point where even upon following up via email there isn't a response. The only thing said is that the claim case was sent for assessment to an investigations department with no SLA's therefore there is no turn around time. We have been sent from pillar to post where we were asked for qualification certificates (which we provided), although there is a death certificate and BI alternative identity documention (a smart card id which we had no knowledge of or atleast a drivers license) to being asked telephonically what had happened at our loved ones death. A claim registered on 22/09/2022 is still being assess as Sanlam Claim Tracker today 07/12/2022. There isn't the slightest of feedback or update to the family of the deceased, the financial advisor and complaints consultant are seeing in the dark because they don't have answers. Is this the kind of service Sanlam provides? Or is this a frustration tactic so people stop following up and give into their claims not being finalised? Is the Long Term Insurance Ombudsman and Regulatory Body aware of in agreement of such conduct by Sanlam? Requested the Death Claims CEO Ms Loots to provide insights into the matter on a complaint but ... nothing.

Hi

"I have again enquire from Management regarding the Contract Validation and feedback was received that they are still busy and cannot give me the go-ahead with the claim." Is the response recieved from the complaints consultant I've been assigned to since 14/11/2022. This has been the weekly response I've been receiving and it's utterly unacceptable to say the least.

I hope this isn't the feedback I'll be receiving from anyone else.

We unfortunately are not able to provide any further feedback at this stage and you also will not be able to receive any different feedback until the investigation has been finalised.

So you confirm that Sanlam Death Claims have no turn around times or SLA's?

This is untrue and contradictory to your prior correspondence but atleast this is in public and confirms my review.

Just to refresh and revisit the purpose of the review, no turn around times were provided and thus we are here.
