SANLAM Refuses Disability Payout!

I had a life and disability policy with SANLAM, which was supposed to protect me and my family should anything happen to me.  Unfortunately I was diagnosed with epilepsy in February 2018.  I went for tests, scans different doctors, but no one could find the cause for the epilepsy. 

In March 2018, I put a claim in by Sanlam for my disability cover, but they refused and said I should try to apply again in 6 months.  They always included the same line at the end of their letter to say that all costs are are for the policy holder.  By that point, I had nothing left anymore.  I couldn't even afford to see a private doctor.  

My mother gave up her entire pension fund and stopped paying her accounts so that she could take care of me and try to find help. 

Now it is July 2019 and I have sent in the documents again, almost a year and a half after diagnosis and again they say I must apply again in three months! 

Does any of this seem fair to anyone? They are stalling as long as they possibly can to make sure that we are financially ruined and unable to claim. 

Three different doctors has declared me disabled and yet they still refuse to approve the claim. 

If anyone out there is willing to sign this petition, we will have a fighting chance. I'm not the first person they have bullied into a corner and avoid paying a claim. 

Don't just do it for me, but for every single person suffering from epilepsy, that gets mistreated and abused by insurance companies, just for bigger profit margins. 

PLEASE SIGN YOU NAME!
