Thank you for helping me though a very difficult
time in my life. I did not expect anything like
this to have happened to me. My health had always
been so good, but thank god that I had the
foresight to find your protection policy which
has seen me though the later years of my
childrens education when I could not work.

8What our customers think
Walker Fisher
I would recommend that everybody should have
income protection. When I became unable to work I
was always treated with respect and never rushed
by staff. The money I received monthly from the
policy helped greatly to reduce money worries I
would have had without the policy.
Ken McNeely
When you are diagnosed with a serious illness and
unable to work, financial concerns can exacerbate
the situation. This policy has eased my financial
worries and I thank Norwich Union for the
efficient manner in which my claim has been
administered.
