Procedural fairness letter

All statesTPD and income protection

A letter from an insurer outlining their preliminary decision to decline a claim, giving the claimant a chance to respond before the decision is made.

A procedural fairness letter sets out the reasons the insurer is considering a decline and invites a response. Responding well, with further evidence where needed, often produces a positive outcome before an adverse decision is made, which saves the time and cost of fighting a decline.
