Retirement annuity benefit claim

The retirement annuity policy provides benefits that are payable to dependents and/or nominees of the deceased according to the rules of the fund. Once we receive the required documentation, we will refer the claim to the trustees of the retirement annuity fund. They will determine to whom the proceeds are payable. We will then inform the claimant of the options available to the recipients, and of any additional requirements.
