The case manager I was given appeared to have no sympathy about being off work and having bills to pay . I have worked 49 years and was not well but tried to work one day a work at home , though some days were difficult . My case manager even though I sent my payslips , as soon as receiving them it still took some times up to and over two weeks to get the payment organised let alone paid . NOT helpful when you have accounts and bills to pay

After an initial check I was sent the paperwork promptly for a claim but, due to an unexpected mental health episode(s) didn't ever get round to filling it out. Subsequently the people at met life look like they are going to meet my informal request on a claim, and after not being able to work in my trained position for years.
MetLife have obviously taken note of recent advice and decided to keep their customers a priority, after some bad publicity in the sector. Thanks again guys, good to have some financial security in these uncertain times!!

Had to make an income protection claim. A little initial confusion about payment date. Always paid on time. Phone call every month to check how I'm going. I never read the reviews prior to purchasing insurance and only when I had to claim. I was nervous as to whether I'd get paid due to other reviews, I have not had a problem. Monthly payments take some getting used to but otherwise can't fault. Been claiming since February.

I also would give a negative review if I could. I disclosed an existing heart condition and they asked for clarification, when I sent them through a brief medical history they questioned things on the report that were'nt even current medical conditions, like diabetes in pregancy over 30 years ago, or some tablets I took for 3 days. Their medical history consent form also allows them to distrubute your medical and private history including senitive material how ever they seem fit. Shocking breach of the privacy laws.

Premium is quite affordable compared to many other insurance companies. The customer service is fairly good too. But the real character of the insurance companies is seen when you make a claim. I haven't made a claim yet, so I cannot comment on that.
