WAITING PERIODS

The six-month waiting period

  • applies to all benefits for all insured persons
  • applies to any insured person who dies from natural causes
  • starts on the issue date of the policy

The six-month waiting period may be waived in part or in full if you can prove that

  • you took out funeral cover with another insurer
  • policy lapsed or was cancelled within 31 days before the issue date of your new AVBOB policy

The waiting period will be waived in part or in full based on the following calculation:

  • the difference between the six-month waiting period that applies to all AVBOB policies and the waiting period already served with the previous insurer
  • if your new AVBOB policy provides the same, or a less, funeral cover for the same insured persons on your previous policy
