2021 was another busy year for the New Ireland Claims Team. Overall we paid over €132 million in death, specified illness and rider benefit claims.
We saw an increase in claims activity in most claim types, especially so in Specified Illness claims which were up 29% in the number of claims paid and almost 38% in claims notified, many of which were in the final quarter.
Cancer was the cause of many of these which we attribute to the increased availability of Cancer screenings and other diagnostic facilities.
Our Claims accepted figure is one that we are very proud of and in 2021 we paid 99.84% of Death Claims and 91% of Specified Illness claims finalised in the year.
