Information to help

Earnings

Depending on the definition of insured earnings, we may need to request evidence to confirm the earnings. We will write to you to explain what we need and why. 

Evidence of death

As part of the claims process, we require appropriate evidence of a death. For most claims, we can confirm the death without needing the original death certificate.  

However, we will need to see the original death certificate if: 

  • The member died outside the UK
  • Benefits with Unum are above £750,000.
